Certainly materials for second language instruction must reflect creativity and authenticity. For Rebeca Hughes, "Speaking is a unique form of communication which is the basis of all human relationships and the primary channel for the projection of individual identity." So that, materials for speaking skills development must integrate all the elements that guaranty authentic usage of the language which is communication. Before designing materials for speaking skills, the instructor have to take in to account certain elements and find a balance to prepare those materials such as the ccomplexity of oral production, spontaneity when speaking, feelings, personality traits, cultural elements and international varieties of the spoken language.
Furthermore, the purpose of these materials should reflect firstly, the way the spoken language differs from the written. Trying to use perfect language would not help the learner. Secondly, language is about negotiate meaning and interchange, so that a language is a process of collaboration. thirdly, the practical and cultural interference must be shown when students are practicing the language.
