Study on the English Speaking Textbook Development for OPIc: focused on stories and writing practices about learners’ daily lives

In order to teach adult EFL speaking learners to develop their proficiency into more than Intermediate Mid 2 level in OPIc, this study suggests appropriate topics the learners should talk about, which are related with their daily lives and opinions. The topics related to the learners could be more appropriate for them easily to express their own thoughts and opinions than those in business contexts like TOEIC Speaking. In addition, lots of speaking contents and language control ability of speakers’ seem to guarantee their level-up in speaking. To speak about lots of stories related to the topic and have their language control in their speaking, the researcher introduces 12 storytelling strategies and writing practices in OPIc class. Through the example of textbook or workbook for speaking, this paper could show the positive effects of writing practices and using storytelling strategies on improving speaking proficiency to more than Intermediate Mid 2 level.
