Recommendations for Improving SpeakingSkill 
The purpose of education is to make good, independent and active thinkers and 
learners. In case of English language teaching in Bangladesh, spoken English demands 
serious attention. In order to make the teaching of spoken English effective it is 
mandatory to take care of few points. Based on the findings of the study the following 
recommendations can be considered: 
a. 
Application of CLT Appropriately: 
All the teachers should apply CLT method in the classroom and have to make 
the students more engaged in classroom activities (i.e. pair work, group work, 
presentation and other conversational activities), which will gradually help learners to 
speak fluently.
b. 
Ensure Participation of the Learners: 
Teachers have to allow all the students to take full participation in the classroom. 
Teachers should not be too concentrated only with the good students. Teachers have to 
correct the students in a very positive way and should not try to blame the students. 
Every student has a different way of learning. Speaking in easy English within 
classroom should be encouraged.
c. 
Learners’ Motivation: 
Learners‟ motivation is most important thing in language classroom. Lesson 
should be based on real life communication and learners background knowledge; it will 
help the teachers to motivate the learners. Materials should be taken from our own 
context so that the students can learn in an interesting way.

d. 
Teachers
’ Training should be Provided: 
 
Teachers training program should be conducted more. It will provide a number of 
trained teachers who will follow communicative language teaching properly. Language 
teachers should also be acquainted with the four skills simultaneously and the ways to 
deal with the different lessons in real classroom scenario. Teachers should be made 
acquainted with different techniques of teaching like pair work, group work, chain drill, 
choral drill, elicitation etc. Four skills should be taught to students giving equal 
importance to each separately. The lesson for removing shyness of the students as well 
as the teachers should be giventhrough training.
