RÉSUME, This study investigated on how the speaking skill in basic school is taught especially in large classes. This study was carried out in basic schools selected in Bujumbura municipality. To that end, the researcher used 10 english teachers and 150 pupils as sample from the school under study. As any scientific study, this research was done around three research hypotheses which are formulated as the following: (1) the English language teachers don't know how to manage large classes in teaching English speaking skill, (2) the existing English teaching techniques don't enable students to improve students' speaking skill and (3) the availability of teaching materials is not sufficient to facilitate the teaching of the English speaking skill in those focussed schools. To collect data, teachers' questionnaire and students' questionnaire, classroom observations were used. After analyzing the data, it was found that teachers are awere of some teaching techniques used to teach speaking skill iun large classes. However, it was also noticed that most of them use reading aloud technique (80%) and questioning techniques (70%) which are not effective to speaking skill. In addition, it was discovered that the existing teaching techniques enable students to improve the speaking skill in Ebglish.That was proved by the fact that the majority of the respondents (80%) confirmed that the proposed teaching technique help students to improvetheir speaking skill. Moreover, findings showed that the available teaching materiala are not sufficient to facilitate the teaching of the English speaking skill in the schools understudy. That was justified by the fact that 80% of the respondents confirmed that the available teaching materials are not enough to facilitate the teaching of the english speaking skill. specialized by Jean Fabrice Nijimbere; Mr. Alfred Irambona, Directeur Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of the degree "Licencié en Pédagogie Appliquée, Agrégé de l'Enseignement Secondaire en Anglais" Anglais(langue) Expression orale Bujumbura(mairie) 372.880.20 Don de l'auteur BI-BuBU 200929 fre
