Motivating the students to speak is generally considered to be more difficult than motivating them in practicing other skills. Another great challenge for the teacher is keeping up a good level of motivation with an exceptionally large class. In the English language courses at the University of Dhaka, the teachers are confronted with a number to obstacles that puts extra burden on them and hampers their motivation in the same way as it decreases the motivation of their students. This study tries to portray the classroom situation and analyse the underlying problems that are responsible for reducing the motivation of speaking in English for both the students and the teachers. It aims to identify these variables in order to find out a way of minimizing the hindrances and enhance successful practising of English speaking skill.
