Abstract :This article describes the approaches and technologies used to develop public speaking skills in English lessons. The Action Research was conducted using a communicative approach in the development of speaking and public speaking skills of English language learners. The three-month study consisted of three stages. The experimental training was attended by 70 participants who wanted to develop public speaking skills in English. The participants of the experimental training were of different ages and different social status. The training was conducted online, in connection with the pandemic period, using information and communication technologies. During the experimental training, the ZOOM platform, the ELSA Artificial Intelligence application, personal e-mail and telegram chats of participants were used. Within the framework of the approach used, the participants showed 3 different levels of results. 47 participants reached the highest level, 19 participants reached the average level, and the remaining 4 participants achieved results below other results. Thanks to daily practice, public speaking skills in a foreign language are formed and developed. Taking into account the results and opinions of the participants of the experimental training, it can be concluded that the communicative approach in teaching a foreign language is the most effective and efficient. The results showed that the use of a communicative approach had a positive effect on the development of public speaking skills of English language learners.Keywords : public speaking skills, English language, approach, communicative, technologies
