Abstract

Learning English language is important as mother tongue in the case of second language learners because of its widen opportunities in one's professional and academic areas. Getting command in English language needs special practice and training in the case of second language learners where they exposed continuously to their mother tongue. To enhance language skills, learners need to give equal priority to learn four language skills those are productive skills and receptive skills like speaking and writing respectively reading and listening. It is not possible to practice these skills in isolation. Learning a language is interlinked with both getting command in these four language skills, vocabulary and grammar. Apart from the above, it is also interlinked with other factors like exposure, societal status, economic, and cultural background of the learner. In the four language skills, speaking is the premier medium in the process of human communication. Most of the communication either face to face or telephonic conversation takes place through speaking. The aim of this paper is to enhance English Speaking Skills through Integrated Approach.
