INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING ORAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS IN EFL
Abstract
Foreign language teaching is evolving, with innovative methods and tools increasingly employed to enhance oral speech skills. Effective development of these skills relies heavily on understanding and applying psychological processes, lexical knowledge, and strategic communication techniques. This article reviews various strategies, such as metacognitive, cognitive, and social/affective strategies, and their roles in improving speaking abilities. Additionally, it addresses common interaction issues and suggests solutions like oral negotiation strategies and brainstorming techniques. The article defines the significance of modern teaching methods in improving effective and confident communication in foreign language education.
