This article explores effective strategies for improving English speaking skills in 5th and 6th-grade learners. It discusses various techniques that educators can apply to help young students enhance their oral proficiency in English. Key strategies include creating a supportive classroom environment, using interactive activities like role-playing and group discussions, incorporating technology and multimedia tools, focusing on pronunciation and intonation, encouraging daily practice, teaching conversational strategies, and providing targeted feedback. By applying these methods, teachers can create a dynamic learning atmosphere that fosters confidence and fluency in speaking English, empowering students to communicate effectively in real-life situations.
