This article explores the various strategies and approaches employed to enhance students’ speaking skills in the language learning process. Recognizing the critical role of speaking proficiency in effective communication and language acquisition, educators and researchers have focused on implementing innovative techniques to foster speaking confidence and competence among students. The study examines the impact of interactive activities, real- world simulations, and feedback mechanisms on students’ speaking abilities. Additionally, it delves into the influence of classroom environment, teacher-student interactions, and peer collaboration on improving speaking fluency and accuracy. The findings suggest that a combination of structured practice, authentic communication opportunities, and supportive learning environments significantly contributes to the enhancement of students’ speaking skills.
The article concludes with recommendations for educators to integrate these effective strategies into their teaching practices to facilitate meaningful and engaging speaking experiences for students.
