  ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to examine the dimensions of the speaking skill development process by synthesizing the qualitative findings of researches conducted in Türkiye and abroad on improving English speaking skills as a foreign language. The study was carried out with the meta-synthesis method and the process was followed as recommended by [1]. Studies published between 2016 and 2023 were selected by criterion sampling method and 12 articles conducted with qualitative or mixed methods were examined. While obtaining these studies, “Google Scholar”, “National Thesis Center”, “ERIC”, “Dergi Park” and “Ulakbim” databases were used. As a result of the research, it was concluded that it is very important to do group work, use visual and audio materials, do pronunciation studies and benefit from technological and social media tools in improving English speaking skills.
