PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS’ STRATEGIES IN IMPROVING STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILLS

Abstract

Pre-service teacher education is an essential component of every teacher's education curriculum since it prepares student-teachers to become competent educators in the future. English is becoming the universal language used for communication in both local and international contexts. Speaking is regarded as the most crucial ability that must be thoroughly acquired when learning a new language among four essential language skills. The capacity to speak is also among the most important skills we develop since it enables us to interact with people and convey our feelings. The factors that contribute to neither success nor failure in the process of acquiring a language must be understood by teachers if they are to assist their students in learning English more successfully. Furthermore, as a teacher, you must provide teaching that demonstrates how numerous turns in communication improve students' abilities to communicate more fluently, ask, respond to, and answer questions, as well as change their thoughts about topics. By asking the respondents a number of questions, the aim of the research was to determine what factors influenced students' success or failure in learning English through speaking strategies. As a result, there are a number of challenges and variables that affect whether or not students are successful in using speaking strategies to learn and teach English.
