THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPEAKING SKILLS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
Abstract
The development of speaking skills in primary school student is
essential for their overall communication competence and academic success. This study
explores various strategies to enhance speaking abilities among young learners,
emphasizing interactive learning environments, group discussions, and storytelling
techniques. The findings suggest that teacher modeling and peer feedback foster a
supportive atmosphere for language practice. Additionally, the use of multimedia
resources and games engages students actively. By implementing these methods, educators
can significantly improve students' confidence and proficiency in speaking. Furthermore,
the integration of diverse cultural narratives in storytelling not only enriches language
exposure but also promotes inclusivity among students. Ultimately, fostering speaking skills at an early age lays a strong foundation for lifelong communication abilities,
preparing students for future academic and social challenges.
