نبذة مختصرة
This article investigates the barriers faced by fourth-year English Language and Literature students at Free Aleppo University in speaking English fluently. The study identifies the issues encountered by students and explores effective strategies to enhance their oral proficiency. A mixed-method sequential explanatory methodology is employed in this survey study, where qualitative and quantitative methods are used in the data collection and analysis phases. The investigation includes classroom observations of students' oral performance, revealing a lack of participation, difficulty with sentences structuring, and anxiety-related issues. In-depth interviews with successful students and instructors revealed additional insights into effective learning and teaching practices. Further, a well-organized questionnaire was developed to collect and report the students’ perspectives on the issue at hand. The study's significance lies in providing practical information to policymakers and stakeholders to develop effective teaching approaches and supporting learners in understanding the complexities of language usage. Additionally, the study serves as a representative case for other universities in Northwest Syria, addressing similar challenges. The article concludes with recommendations to help students overcome these barriers and enhance their English-speaking abilities.
