Abstract

Teaching English speaking is a critical component of English as a Second Language (ESL) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education. This paper explores the foundational aspects involved in developing speaking skills, including the role of communicative competence, fluency and accuracy, the use of interactive methodologies, and the importance of creating a supportive learning environment. It also addresses the challenges faced by learners and teachers and suggests effective strategies to overcome them.
