ENHANCING THE ENGLISH ORAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS OF STUDENTS IN AGRICULTURE
Keywords:
This study explores effective methods for enhancing the English speaking abilities of agricultural students in higher education institutions. It examines the integration of communicative and task-based language teaching approaches within the framework of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Particular attention is given to the application of interactive learning activities and authentic field-related materials as means of developing learners’ fluency, self-confidence, and overall communicative competence. The findings indicate that a learner-centered and professionally focused methodology significantly improves students’ speaking performance in both academic and professional settings.Abstract
