摘要：In this study, the aim was to determine the activities elementary school teachers did to develop their students’ oral communication skills. Qualitative research design was used for data collection, analysis and interpretation in the study. 15 elementary school teachers in the provinces of Trabzon and Rize participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in order to determine the activities the teachers did to develop their students’ oral communication skills. Data obtained from the semi-structured interviews were analyzed through descriptive analysis. The results of the research showed that the teachers did not use various methods and techniques to develop their students’ listening and speaking skills, that they experienced many problems in helping their students acquire those skills, and that they used observation only in the assessment of oral communication skills. Nevertheless, it was found that the teachers considered themselves partially qualified in the process. Several suggestions have been made regarding the development of students’ oral communication skills.
