Speaking is the most important aspect of language learning. This study explores effective strategies for enhancing speaking skills among language learners at various proficiency levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Using a mixed-methods approach, participants took part in targeted activities over a designated period: beginners focused on role-playing and pronunciation drills, intermediates participated in conversation groups and technology-assisted tools, while advanced learners engaged in debates and discussions.
