English Speaking Problems Faced by ESL Students of Intermediate Level in District Chitral

Abstract

    The present research study is an effort to explore the English-speaking problems faced by ESL students of intermediate level in district Chitral. The research is oriented on both quantitative and qualitative paradigms. The population of the study was five colleges of district Chitral and fifty ESL students were selected as research participants. Data was composed by using an online questionnaire. The questionnaire was sent to the participants via Email and WhatsApp. The collected data was analyzed in numerical form and presented in tables and graphs. The main finding of the research is that there is a lack of proper environment inside the ESL classrooms for speaking English and also a lack of basic facilities like English language laboratories and there is no separate programs inside the educational institutions for the development of language skill. Most of the English teachersteach English subjects in their native language. Some recommendations are also given by the researchers.

    Speaking Skill, Speaking Proficiency, Speaking Accuracy. Speaking Fluency, College Level, ESL Students.
