Abstract: Being a teacher I have been coming across many classroom issues as real problems. Among them, I dealt with students’ less engagement in speaking activities aiming to identify the issues of students’ less engagement in speaking activities and to increase students’ participation actively in speaking activities. For that I conducted the interview with head teacher for getting permission and the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with students where I found some issues such as mispronunciation of words, nervousness about making mistakes, weak English, lack of vocabulary, and weak sentence construction, hesitant of being wrong in their activities because of which they were unable to engage themselves in speaking activities. And classroom activities/intervention and observation were further used for data to be analysed. I used pronunciation and vocabulary improvement strategies, presentation and role play activities to increase their active participation in speaking activities. In this study, I found that pronunciation and vocabulary improvement strategies were just effective to develop pronunciation and word-meaning skills for speaking. While presentation and role play activities were found more meaningful for developing students’ speaking skills.
