Now a day’s communicative language teaching and learning has become a salient feature in ESL contexts across many countries. And the adult learners, especially in the target language situation directly benefit from the use of communicative skills. In second language learning, good language learners employ a variety of strategies to improve their communicative ability. From the practical perspectives speaking is one of the most important aspects in dealing with communication skills, particularly in second or foreign language situation, as they enhance learners’ confidence and fluency.
