This article presents a systematic approach to developing oral speech skills in English language learners, particularly at the high school level. It outlines a framework of exercises and tasks categorized by specific skill areas, including pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, fluency, and communication strategies. The effectiveness of this system is evaluated through a quasi-experimental study comparing students who underwent the designated exercises with a control group. The findings demonstrate significant improvements in pronunciation accuracy, vocabulary acquisition, grammatical complexity, and overall fluency in the experimental group. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of a structured and targeted approach to oral skills development and reiterates the effectiveness of the proposed system in enhancing students' English speaking abilities.
