PROBLEMS OF TEACHING SPEAKING SKILLS TO STUDENTS OF NON-PHILOLOGICAL SPECIALTIES

Abstract

This article examines the problems of teaching speaking skills to students of non-philological specialties in the context of modern higher education. The study emphasizes the importance of developing oral communicative competence as an essential component of professional training for future specialists. The research analyzes the major factors that hinder the effective development of speaking skills, including linguistic, psychological, and organizational-methodological difficulties. Particular attention is paid to insufficient speaking practice, language anxiety among students, and the limited integration of modern educational technologies into the teaching process.
