Abstract
The research entitled "Techniques of Teaching Speaking Skills Used by
Secondary Level English Teachers" is an attempt to find out the different
techniques that the Secondary Level teachers use in teaching speaking skill. For this
research study the researcher selected 6 government and 6 private schools of Sunsari
District. All the teachers were requested to fill up the questionnaire prepared by the
researcher. And the researcher observed the classes of twelve teachers while they
were teaching speaking skill by applying various techniques and filled up the
observation check-lists. The data collected from the teachers of secondary level
schools were compared, analyzed and interpreted to find out the differences of
techniques.
A variety of teaching techniques were used by teachers to teach speaking skill at
grade 12, with role play being the most commonly used technique. Other techniques,
such as acting, dramatization, mock presentation, personification, simulation,
communication, dialogue, and group work, were also used to varying degrees. This

speaking skill. Puppets or being a ventriloquist, acting, dramatization, drilling,
imitate/caricature, latest drama technique, mime, and simulation were the most rarely
used techniques. Drama activities were popular techniques among teachers for
teaching speaking skill in grade 12. It indicates that this method was considered

in speaking activities and improved their speaking skill.
