Abstract

'Factors Affecting Students' English-Speaking Skills at Secondary School Level' is the topic I've chosen for my research. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that influence students' English speaking skills at the secondary school level, to emphasise the importance of the direct method on oral reading fluency, to identify the problems that English teachers face at the secondary school level, and to provide a foundation for students to improve their English speaking skills. All of the teachers and students in the 48 government girl's high schools in the district of Swabi. The study sample consisted of 10 teachers and 100 students drawn at random from the whole population. One instructor and ten students were chosen at random. With the support of a supervisor and after a thorough review of pertinent literature, a close end questionnaire based on a Likert scale with 20 items for teachers and another questionnaire with 20 items for students was developed. We can deduce from the statistics that English is used as a medium of instruction by the majority of teachers. The students have the same reaction. Teachers rarely employ audiovisual resources to improve their students' speaking abilities. Teachers do not communicate with one another in English. In class, the majority of professors adopt an interactive style. For the most part, teachers instruct in their home tongue. All of the teachers believe that English is a useful language and that teaching English is not a burden. However, the institution does not provide English language training or activities.
