Abstract

    This study aimed to investigate teachers' perspectives regarding improving students' speaking skills in English through group discussion and classroom interaction at the secondary school level in Bannu District.

Five-point Likert scale-based self-made instrument was used for data collection. It was a survey-type quantitative study. Mean and standard deviation was used as descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that teachers of both genders were in favour of group discussion and classroom interaction.
