DIFFICULTIES OF IMPROVING SPEAKING SKILLS IN PUPILS' LANGUAGE LEARNING AT SCHOOL LEVEL
Abstract
Developing speaking skills in language learning remains one of the most challenging aspects for pupils at the school level. Despite advancements in teaching methodologies, students face numerous difficulties, including lack of confidence, limited vocabulary, inadequate practice opportunities, and interference from their native language. This article explores these challenges, identifies their root causes, and proposes practical strategies for educators to overcome these obstacles, ultimately fostering a more effective learning environment.
