Long time ago, technology is more well-known to be used in business rather than education. So the teacher only teaches with less facility or just does conversation interactively with the student. In that time, speaking learning is more stressed on pronunciation. And the method that teacher use is behaviouristicaudiolingual method. It contains some drilling, pattern practice, and dialog memorization.

Then some educators assume that speaking learning is not all about pronunciation. But the teacher assumed that the fluency is more important rather pronunciation. So it changes the speaking teaching approach. And some educators develop some simple technology to become teaching media such as word card, song, and puppet. It makes speaking learning fun with those kinds of media.

And nowadays, the technology has been developed fast. The teacher is easier to teach speaking skill to student. Teachers use computer in speaking learning. In that learning, the teacher should not merely give instruction because the student will get more instruction in the computer rather than from the teacher. So the teacher only act as facilitator then student will be more interactive with computer. So it will be human to machine interaction.

Perceiving that passage above, we can see high development of speaking learning approach. More over when the technology is developed to become learning media. It changes how the teachers interact with students. It will be easier because learning can be conducted in long distance communication.
