This study aimed to determine how the approach of teaching speaking was done with the sophomore class students taking English as major subject in the University of Southern Mindanao, Kidapawan Campus, Kidapawan City. Specifically, it sought to answer how the approach was done; how the approach helped students enhance their speaking competency; and what suggestions they could shed to improve the approach. Narratological approach was used through Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Results revealed that teachers used Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in teaching speaking and that they used authentic tasks and activities for students to practice proper speech fluency and accuracy. These activities are usually done in real life like interview, simple conversation, online conversation, reading passages, and reading speeches. The researchers found that communicative language teaching would have favorable results if contextualization and first hand experiences of learners are considered.
