Abstract: This article analyzes the main challanges faced by Uzbek students in the process of developing their English speaking skills. Although it is important to be able to communicate freely in English in the current era of globalization, many students face various challenges in acquiring speaking skills. During the study, students' difficulties in speaking English were examined, including insufficient vocabulary, fear of making grammatical errors, pronunciation difficulties, speech anxiety, and limited practice opportunities. Also, the influence of these factors on the development of oral speech of students was analyzed. Research results indicate that fear of making mistakes and lack of vocabulary are the biggest obstacles to speaking English fluently. The article provides recommendations for solving these problems and emphasizes the need to use communicative approaches, interactive exercises, and modern technologies in the process of teaching English.
