AbstractEnglish Language has become the global language of the world. It is the used medium for
communication, political, economical and social purposes in widely
most of the countries in the world. Therefore, it is not surprising that Malaysia is one of the
countries, which is rapidly following the footsteps of other countries in pursuing this language.
However, there is a notable decline in the use of English as the language of communication

to improve speaking skills among ESL students.
