Abstract
The acquisition of oral proficiency has always been critical to the teaching and learning of foreign/second language all over the world. Meanwhile, recent researches have suggested that cognitive strategies could be helpful in the learners’ efforts at acquiring both oral and writing proficiencies in foreign/second languages. After a brief survey of the major theoretical considerations as well as empirical dispositions in the domain of Cognition and private speech as they relate to foreign/second language teaching and learning, we discuss in this article the possible interface between the two concepts as it concerns the learning of oral expression. Essentially, the article views private speech, when employed within the scope of cognitive foreign/second language learning theory, as a veritable and result-oriented strategy to the learning of the oral paradigm of foreign/second languages in general and consequently could impact affectively on the Nigerian learners of French
