Abstract
The article focuses on to improve university students English speech activities. Observations show that the types of speech
activities are studied separately during foreign language sessions. The reason for this isimpossible to cover all types of speech
competencies in a single lesson and lack of time.Teacher should develop a working relationship with his/her students, offering a
more intricate learning experience share in compare language and culture with them. The aim of this article, ESL teaching is in
many ways about building a relationship and in order to do so, teacher must know his/her students’ ESL goals, age, English level,
interests and background, plus to them, real practice of lesson topics. The most important aspect of ESL teaching is keeping ESL
material relevant to students. If they can relate to what teachers are presenting in their lesson, than they will remain interested in
what they ultimately share with students. Relevant lesson plans are essential in ESL and teacher can only develop an exceptional,
relevant lesson if teachers take the time to get to know students. Building friendships and an atmosphere of confidence in
classroom will make all that follows that much easier and 20 item questionnaire results are given as sample in this article. Some
students weakness points in learning language will discuss in discussion section. Every student’s opinion is different from to each
others about learning language in class and real life experience. There some difficulties to improve all skills of speech activity in the
same time. The data have been analyzed and at the end are given, opinion about relationship between language in class and
experience in daily life.

Key word: language, skills, speech activity, student, method, experience.
