The present work deals with factor hindering pupils' speaking skill in English in Secondary schools.  The target population of this study comprises the 4th form pupils and teachers of he same class. Forty eight pupils and four teachers are treated as objects of the study and four schools were selected.  The instruments used to gather the data are questionnaires and classroom observation.  The answers to the specific questions are analysed separately so as to come up with answers to my mresearch question such as : Does the qulification of the teachers have an effect on pupils speaking skill ?  Is the pupils' speaking skill hindered by their parents' socioeconomic background ?  Does the pupils' attitude towards the English language have an effect on their English skill ?

Ather analysing the data gathered.  I found that the teachers' qualification and the pupils' attitude have no significant relationship with pupils' speaking skill while the parents' socioeconomic background has an influence on pupils speaking skill.

As a result of these findings.  I recommended first of all the teachers of English to use techniques or activities that promote the speaking skill, secondary pupils themselves should engage in conversation in classroom and outside the classroom and finally the government  should create good conditions for English language learning by providing adequate and appropriate teaching materials.
