Many preparatory school students face serious difficulties in expressing themselves in English. To overcome these difficulties, the researcher inducted a pilot study to evaluate students speaking skills. It was concluded that students had low level of speaking and motivation. As a result, the researcher attempted using interactive tasks strategies that might help improve students’ speaking skill.
