3. Integration of speaking and listening
These two skills are not be separated from that of listening. Tarigan (12) says that sound or voice is an important factor in increasing the learner's vocabulary. Therefore, the learners will have the advantage of listening to teachers, qualified recordings, and qualified stories, etc. In oral communication, a hearer will receive various forms or words or sentences that can be delivered from different sources such as dialogs, stories, and songs. Adequate practices will contribute to the building of speaking skills. Hence the teaching of speaking should also be involved in listening activities as suggested by Tarigan (12).

Merriam Webster (13) defines impromptu as:
1. Made, done or on the spur of the moment, improvised. 2. Composed or uttered without previous preparation. Collins English Dictionary (14) defines: "Impromptu is applied to that which is spoken, made or done in the spur of the occasion and stressed spontaneity." So, impromptu speaking is speaking with little preparation or even no preparation. at all and depends on the knowledge they have.
