To collect data on how students, communicate effectively in a foreign language and observe the methods that teachers used to teach speaking skills. As a result, most of the students had no desire to speak English both in and out of the classroom. In addition, the results showed that students' speaking abilities were negatively impacted by teachers teaching methods, lack of practice, large class sizes and lack of internet access.
