Well, I could take a guess. However, I don't believe I've ever heard of a universal list of speaking subskills. I think there are many skills you can come up with, and I'm sure all of them are equally relevant.

Anyway, if I had to take a guess, I think I would go for:

- fluency
- accuracy
- grammar
- coherence
- pronuciation

How about that?

Kind regards,

I'm not so sure grammar has anything to do with speaking skills
Hi,
I'm not so sure grammar has anything to do with speaking skills

Yet without grammar skills, how would you be able to form and say the above sentence?

FYI.

Depending on the level and ability of your students, in the sphere of speaking there are several sub-skills worth looking at:

pronunciation
using stress, rhythm and intonation‏‎ well enough so that people can understand what is said
using the correct forms of words
word order
using appropriate vocabulary
using the appropriate language register‏‎
building an argument

These sub-skills go towards the main goal of teaching speaking: being able to hold a steady, understandable conversation. They are often dealt with on a as-needs basis rather than as general lessons.
