Journal Title: International Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Translation - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
We are living in the age of globalization where everything seems to be digitalized. Although, every year a university produces high number of graduates, yet many students remain stagnant in spite of excelling academically. The primary reason being “Inability to communicate effectively”. Interestingly, most of the examination patterns evaluates the writing skills which seems to be the by-product of rote-learning/memorization etc.. In this regard, little or no attention is given to the Speaking Skill in the present scenario of cut-throat competition. This is a serious situation and it needs to be countered with all the possible solutions. This paper attempts to focus on the probable solutions to enhance the speaking skill with emphasis on developing communicative competence.
