| description | This article focuses on the importance of developing speaking skills at foreign language classes at university, as the ability to communicate in English is one of the essential requirements for success in various careers both nationally and internationally. However, while speaking a foreign language university students face challenges like hesitation, limited vocabulary, anxiety and lack of real-world practice. Traditional methods often struggle to address these issues due to large classes, limited interaction and time constraints. Teaching speaking is particularly demanding, requiring focus on pronunciation, grammar and fluency, along with overcoming shyness, low confidence and fear of judgment. To overcome these barriers, teachers should use innovative methods and technologies. Techniques like communicative language teaching, task-based learning, immersion, and digital tools help students build confidence and fluency. Activities like role-playing and digital storytelling make language use more natural and reduce anxiety. The article highlights the importance of adapting teaching methods to students’ needs, focusing on real-world application of a foreign language like professional communication. Practical strategies include regular practice, engaging with native content, cultural exploration and learning from mistakes. By creating supportive and interactive environments, teachers can help students to become confident speakers, preparing them for successful work and realization in a globalized world. |
