8.1.7. Techniques for the development of oral production skills
Concerning monologue, almost all the teachers use the technique that involves talking about oneself or about someone else. However, they do not use it with the same frequency. About half of the teachers (53,8%) use this technique at least once a week, whereas most of the rest of them use it rarely (Graph 26).On the other hand, the technique that involves telling a story or describing an event is used less commonly. Almost half of the teachers (46,1%) never use it, and generally it is not used frequently by the other half (Graph 27).

On the other hand, the tandem method to make the pupils interact with native speakers via Skype or other means is almost never used. (Graph 30).
