Foreign language learning situations are vulnerable to anxiety arousal and ‘speaking’ is reported to be one of the most anxiety-provoking skills. Keeping in line with this, the present study attempts to examine the level of speaking anxiety experienced by in-service English teachers in their role as students of MPhil/Ph.D. The study also aims at demystifying the major anxiety-evoking factors and the effect of some demographic features on FLSA. To this end, a small-scale survey from 30 in-service English teachers from two districts (Lahore & Multan) of Punjab was undertaken. Data were analyzed using SPSS 23. The findings of descriptive statistics revealed that most of the participants faced a medium level of speaking anxiety with their belief to speak better English at this stage which contributed to arouse their speaking apprehension, followed by fear of presenting in front of the class and finally fear of making mistakes. The results of the Independent sample t-test and Pearson rank correlation coefficient indicated that FLSA had a negative correlation with gender and district whereas a positive correlation was found with teaching experience. Based on the findings, the researcher recommends that to alleviate the debilitating effect of speaking anxiety both teachers and students should be made cognizant of the priority of speaking skill which in turn can guarantee better learning outcomes.

The 1960S

Speech is an important language skill used for communicating. It is the creative oral language skill that allows one to produce a logical spoken statement in order to express oneself meaningfully. For an effective communication, teaching of speaking skill at schools is of great importance. It is found that in Pakistan, speaking skill is not effectively taught at Government Secondary Schools. The objective of this study was to investigate the perceptions of Government Secondary School English teachers about the challenges they face in teaching English speaking skill to their students. Communicative competence presented by Dell Hymes in the 1960s, provided the theoretical framework for this study. The participants of this study were 100 Government Secondary School English teachers of Quetta city, out of whom 50 were male and 50 females. Data was collected using five items Likert scale questionnaire. Data was analyzed using SPSS. The findings revealed that the majority of English teachers spoke in both English and Urdu in their English class. It was also found that the teachers often asked student for sentence drilling and repeating sentences after them in English. Inclusively, the findings of this study depicted that most English Teachers agreed that they describe grammar only when required in class. The study suggests that English should be taught only by the teachers qualified in this subject. It is further suggested that speaking skill should be assessed in the board examination, only in that case the English teachers would focus teaching of speaking skill in their English classes in order to enhance communicative competence of their students.
