Abstract

The present paper calls attention to the problems that hinder speaking proficiency which is the most challenging task for language learners to master. A learner-centered environment and a well-rounded collaborative class can contribute to ongoing efforts to improve students’ oral performance and promote critical thinking. The results of the analysis of the statistical survey undertaken by the authors can be useful to draw up a syllabus.
