Therefore, the current study aimed to analyze the strategies for developing students English language speaking skills and find out the new trends adopted by university teachers for developing students English language speaking skills. The researchers selected 2425 students and 97 teachers from public universities of Pakistan. A self-designed instrument was used to collect data. The calculated reliability of the tool was .876. Data were collected and analyzed by using SPSS and percentage, mean score, and standard deviation were calculated.
