The objective of this research is to identify the complexities faced by non-native learners in achieving accuracy and fluency in English language speaking at the BS level. Students studying English as a second or foreign language often encounter challenges in effectively communicating in English. Limited exposure to the language and lack of opportunities for expressive speaking hinder their ability to communicate proficiently. Additionally, educational practices and policies, such as an emphasis on grammar and academic discussions, often neglect the development of practical communication skills. This study utilized a quantitative research approach to collect data from 150 BS English students at Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering and Information Technology, Rahim Yar Khan. Convenience sampling was employed, and a questionnaire was used as the research instrument. Reliability and validity of the instrument were assessed through statistical analysis. The research findings indicate a significant positive impact of non-native language learners on English speaking skills. Additionally, accuracy and fluency were found to have a strong and positive influence on English speaking skills. Based on the study's findings, it is recommended to prioritize effective teaching strategies that focus on enhancing students' oral communication skills, providing ample opportunities for interpersonal communication and public speaking practice. Curriculum reforms should strike a balance between fluency and accuracy in language teaching to promote effective communication in English among non-native learners.
