Abstract

This study aims to investigate the primary obstacles faced by teachers in teaching speaking skills to students at SMKN 1 Buntok and the strategies employed to address these challenges. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through observation and interviews with three English teachers. The findings reveal several key challenges, including students‘ limited vocabulary, poor pronunciation, lack of motivation and confidence, resource limitations, and fatigue. These obstacles hinder the development of students' speaking abilities and their active participation in class activities. To address these issues, teachers employed various strategies, such as interactive teaching methods, including group discussions, role-playing, and storytelling, which encouraged active participation. They also focused on vocabulary-building and pronunciation exercises to strengthen students' linguistic foundation. Moreover, the teachers utilized creative approaches to optimize the use of available resources and fostered a supportive classroom environment to boost student confidence. The study highlights the importance of addressing both linguistic and psychological barriers to improve speaking skills. It provides practical implications for teachers, policymakers, and students, emphasizing the need for enhanced resources, professional development for teachers, and greater student engagement in learning activities.
