Réservé,
This research aims at investigating the challenges to the teaching and learning of the English speaking skill. To collect data, a sample of one hundred and three learners and three learners and six teachers was chosen from six selected schools by the use of the simple random sampling technique. A students' and teachers' questionnaire and classroom observation were used as data collection instruments. Data were presented and analyzed using descriptive statistics through tables and content analysis. The findings show there are three main challenges to the teaching and learning of the speaking skill. Firstly, teachers do not use appropriate speaking methods/activities, that is, activities which give opportunities to their learners to practice their speaking fluency. This is mainly due to the great number of learners in the same classroom, therefore, teachers find impossible to make all their learners practice the speaking because it is time consuming and so, they decide not to use such activities. Secondly, the learners' attitude towards the English language is not favorable to the learning of the speaking skill; the majority of learners are shy to converse with others because they are afraid of making mistakes and this hinders their speaking fluency. Finally, the learners, environment is not also favorable. After English classes, the majority of learners do not get any other opportunities to practice their speaking.
