Abstract
This article examines effective ways of developing English speaking skills of agricultural students in higher education. It focuses on communicative and task-based approaches combined with English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The study emphasizes the use of interactive activities and authentic professional materials to improve students’ fluency, confidence, and communicative competence. The results show that a learner-centered and professionally oriented approach contributes to better speaking performance in academic and professional contexts.
