Abstract

The teaching of speaking skills in second language acquisition (SLA) is a critical yet challenging aspect of language education. Traditional methods often fail to engage students actively or provide sufficient opportunities for meaningful practice. This article explores the role of classroom strategies and student engagement in implementing interactive methods for teaching speaking skills. Interactive techniques such as role-play, group discussions, debates, storytelling, and games are examined for their ability to foster active participation and communicative competence. The article outlines specific classroom strategies that enhance student engagement, evaluates the impact of these strategies on learning outcomes, and discusses potential challenges. Evidence suggests that well-designed interactive methods significantly improve fluency, confidence, and collaboration among learners. The article concludes with recommendations for educators and calls for further research into optimizing engagement through interactive approaches.
