Here we can depict from the above table that in case of speaking skill there is no significant difference. In other words the student does not show any progress in speaking skill. The obvious reason for the present finding could be that in 11th class, student’s speaking skill is less focused.
The above charts clearly show that there is no significant difference from their initial to final levels.
This is because of the fact that the speaking skill is not adequately covered in the teaching of English.
Yet another reason may be that respondents become conscious while speaking and make mistakes which in turn effect their scoring in this skill. A further reason for these findings could be the large classes that teachers have to cope with.
Because the classes are large in terms of student strength, the teachers cannot give individual attention to all the students. Another reason for the present findings could be the defective educational system in Kashmir, especially the lack of adequate number of trained teachers. It is a fact that majority of the teachers are not well equipped and pedagogically well trained as far as the teaching of English language is concerned. Due to this reason as well, teachers are unable to effectively mould their teaching according to the prescribed curriculum objectives.
