This paper aims to apply the Six-step Interactive Approach of Teaching Clauses to the teaching of oral Chinese in Singapore. The approach combines the concepts of pivotal clause, communicative competence, communicative approach, IRF model and integrated approach of language teaching. It reinforces the teaching strategies of "read and speak three times" and "learn words with the help of sentence patterns", as advocated by the Curriculum Planning and Development Division, Ministry of Education, Singapore. The approach, as the name suggests, comprises six steps: recognize the words, learn the clauses, answer questions using the clauses, ask and answer questions using the clauses, role-play using the clauses and communicate using the clauses. With its emphasis on teacher-student interactions, the approach will improve students' verbal communication ability, and eventually meet the teaching objectives set by MOE.
