ABSTRACT


Streams of speech skills building in the field of teaching second languages in light of applied linguistics. Speech is the ultimate fruit and the expected outcome of the process of learning languages in general, and foreign languages in particular. The problem of speech is one of the main problems of learning a second language because the ability to express requires more skills than the other language competencies do, and acquiring such skills is not as easy as acquiring the other language competencies. One may learn a lot from a second language, but it may be still unable to produce it or achieve fluency. Here we have to differentiate between the language ability or faculty, the knowledge that is inherent in each of us, and performance or the actual speech or action of the tongue, i.e. the ability to use the language expression in different situations. The student needs to form this faculty, which takes three to four years in the case of a child. On the other hand, a foreign language


learner needs a period of time that may be long or short according to the readiness of the learner himself, the educational environment and social conditions that surround the student. Therefore, Krashen claimed that fluency in a second language is due to what we have acquired rather than to what we have learned. This means that fluency can be traced back to what moved from short-term memory to long-term memory until it becomes stable just as what is acquired. That is why this study came in six sections to suggest a way to build a linguistic faculty among foreign language learners.
