Resumen
The growing interest in Cornrnunicative Language Teaching has placed speaking as a
relevant skill. Oral skills - both speaking and listening - are at the very foundation of
literacy. Classroom talk helps students learn, reflect on what they are learning, and
communicate their knowledge and understanding. The interest in the development of
learners' speaking proficiency is considerable. This research suggests that the oral skill is
problematic for foreign language learners; although most learners indicate that they are
most interested in developing their capacity to cornrnunicate verbally in the target
language. However, there are interna! factors such as self-esteem, academic self-concept,
willingness to cornrnunicate that might be identified as possible reasons why students' oral
performance is not appropriate for the level described in the studied sample.
