EFFECTIVE CLASSROOM STRATEGIES FOR ENHANCING SPEAKING SKILLS IN EFL LEARNERS

Abstract

Abstract. This article analyzes effective classroom strategies for developing students' speaking skills in groups where English is taught as a foreign language (EFL). The study examines the role of the communicative approach, dialogue-oriented activities, pair and group work, role-playing, debate, problem situations, and the impact of project-based learning. It also shows practical mechanisms for reducing students' psychological barriers, increasing motivation, creating a language environment, and increasing speech activity through interactive technologies and feedback techniques. The results of the study show that complex strategies significantly increase students' fluency, accuracy, ability to engage in dialogue, and communicative effectiveness of speech. The article serves as a practical guide for EFL teachers, methodologists, and language learners.
