Abstract: English has become the predominant language for communication globally. For students or learners whose mother tongue is not English, mastering English is more important not only for their academic life but also for their prospective career as today’s generation demands it. In the case of tertiary level Arab students, they are expected to be industry-ready as they graduate but in most cases, their speaking proficiency or skill is quite poor to be able to communicate effectively and efficiently. Although some of them have been in English medium schools and institutes, they are still found to be incapable of having right skills of speaking in English language. So this Paper focuses on the strategies to unlock such problems or barriers of speaking proficiency in Englishamong the Arab students in an ESL classroom. Some strategies have been applied to the target group of students to assess and help them to develop their speaking skills. Keywords: Developing ESL/EFL Speaking skills, Vocabulary knowledge.
