Abstract

In English, there are four skills that should be mastered, they are: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Among the four language skills, speaking skill seems one of the most important skills that allows us to communicate with others and express our thoughts and feelings. However, this skill is also considered one of the most difficult skills of the language learning process. Many students can get good marks in writing exams but they find it difficult to fully express their thoughts in English. Therefore, how to improve students' speaking ability so that they can communicate confidently and fluently is the main goal in the current foreign language curriculum. In this article, the author presents the aspects of speaking skills, some difficulties that students face when learning speaking skill, and also gives some techniques for both teachers and students to improve speaking skills for non major students at Tan Trao University.
