Abstract
Promoting students' speaking skills leads to significant improvements in fluency, accuracy, comprehension, and vocabulary, while dramatically boosting confidence and motivation. Effective strategies like collaborative role play , and task – based learning shift students from passive listening to active communication, improving their ability to convey ideas clearly and fostering a more engaging, interactive classroom atmosphere, Classroom observations further highlighted issues such as students' reluctance to participate in speaking activities, over-reliance on written assignments, and minimal use of interactive speaking exercises in lessons. Based on the study's outcomes, recommendations are proposed to improve speaking proficiency among students. These include dedicating more time to speaking practice, increasing awareness of the benefits of effective communication, implementing regular assessments to monitor progress, and integrating a dedicated speaking module into the curriculum. Emphasizing flexible teaching approaches and encouraging diverse speaking practices beyond the classroom is essential for enhancing overall language proficiency among students.
