analytical, and experimental analytical are followed in conducting this study. The
population of the study was the English language teachers of secondary schools at
the Locality of Bahri, an oral experiment for secondary school students was
conducted, December (2016). The problem of this study emerged from that most of
the Sudanese secondary school students are unable to speak English language
fluently. They suffered a lot and are still suffering from the problem of disability to
speak fluently, because they don’t have strategic plans about learning English
language. The aim of this study was to reveal the difficulties which hinder the
promoting of clssroom interacion among Sudanese secondary school students.
Moreover, it aims to help students to speak English fluently in the classroom. The
study includes some questions and hypotheses. The validity and reliability of tools
were checked. The statistical package of analyzing social sciences (SPSS) was
used to reach the results.The most significant results obtained indicated that most
secondary school students have a phobia and reservation when they find
themselves in such a situation that requires speaking skill; this refers to
insufficiency of practice. Most schools follow technical methods in teaching, their
aim is how to pass and gain high degree in exams. Most students have a problem in
expressing their ideas through writing and speaking, this causes defects in
coherence and cohesion in their performance. It is difficult for students to practice
speaking skill outside the classroom, because they don’t have ideal atmosphere and
encouragement. Since they left their classrooms they find themselves communicate
in their first language.The thesis is concluded by some recommendations and
suggestions to be taken into account. More concern should be granted for teaching
speaking skill. Listening skilland reading aloud should be activated.
Communicative techniques should be used. Periodical oral exams should be
arranged to raise seriousness of students towards speaking skill.
