Abstract. This article discusses the importance of interactive methods in
developing students’ speaking skills in English language classes. Speaking is
considered one of the most difficult yet essential skills in foreign language learning.
Traditional teaching methods often limit students’ participation and communication
opportunities, while interactive approaches encourage active involvement,
collaboration, and confidence in speaking. The study analyzes several interactive
methods such as role-plays, debates, group discussions, brainstorming, information gap
activities, and digital tools that improve students’ communicative competence. The
article also examines the teacher’s role in organizing learner-centered environments
and motivating students to participate in speaking activities. The findings reveal that
interactive methods significantly increase students’ fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary
usage, and confidence in oral communication. Recommendations for effective
classroom implementation are provided.
