METHODS FOR DEVELOPING SPEAKING SKILLS
Abstract
This article analyzes effective methods for developing speaking skills in language learners. Speaking is a core component of communicative competence, enabling learners to express ideas clearly and confidently in various communicative situations. The study explores communicative and interactive approaches, task-based learning, vocabulary development, technology-assisted instruction, and the role of psychological factors in speaking development. In addition, the importance of listening skills and cultural-pragmatic competence in enhancing oral communication is highlighted. The findings emphasize that a systematic and learner-centered approach is essential for improving fluency, accuracy, and overall speaking performance.
