Abstract
Speaking is a core productive skill in second language acquisition and plays a decisive role in developing communicative competence. Despite its importance, many language learners experience difficulties in speaking due to psychological barriers, limited lexical resources, and lack of structured practice. This paper investigates effective methods for teaching speaking skills in EFL/ESL contexts. It adopts a qualitative-descriptive approach based on literature analysis and classroom-based pedagogical observations
