Oral skills have not always figured so central in second and foreign language pedagogy. In classes that utilize comprehension-based approaches to language teaching, listening skills are stressed before speaking, if speaking is stressed at all. Even in a production-based approach such as the Silent Way; student speech is carefully controlled for structure and content. And while Audiolingualism stressed oral skills (evidenced by the amount of time spent in the language laboratory practicing drills), speech production was tightly controlled in order to reinforce correct habit formation of linguistic rules.
