In this study we discussed the issues of communicative competence, methods of enhancing oral communication, motivation and ways of overcoming the language barrier. It was significant to learn different views of Russian and foreign researchers on the problem of speaking skills of students.
So, the aim of this article: “to define strengths and weaknesses of speaking skills of today's students in Russia and to demonstrate the possibilities of speaking skill enhancement of students learning English” was achieved as we proved that the integrated use of modern techniques may yield positive results and lead to the improvement of communicative competence. Learning English by using new methods in education and traveling and working abroad makes students willing to learn the language, develop their ability to speak fluently, and help them overcome the language barrier.
The findings from this study also show that the main reason of poor speaking skills of Russian students is their unwillingness to communicate due to many factors We can conclude that WTC needs to be an important component of SLA. So, the main suggestion is to overcome the language barrier and build a strong WTC. Only then will it be possible for the student to be a fluent speaker and not to be afraid of communicating in any situation.
