Purposive and random sampling techniques were adopted to select the participants of the study. The sample of the study consists of one hundred and twenty (120) SSI students; 60 experimental and 60 controlled groups respectively. For data collection procedure, two different lessons (in each group) were conducted, the students‟ performance were studied and analyzed. The students‟ performance were also observed and marked. Drama, Simulation, Discussion and Oral Presentation methods were used in the experimental group. Vygotsky‟s sociocultural theory was adopted for the theoretical framework. The results of the study showed that STT strategy improves the speaking skills of the students.
