Abstract
In English language education, the transition from a teacher-centered to a learner-centered approach is a critical turning point that is necessary for students to succeed in the globalized world of today. This shift highlights how important having good speaking abilities is for social and professional contacts in addition to academic pursuits. This study uses a mixed-methodology approach to examine participants' speaking and listening skills in-depth, focusing on the effects of dynamic assessment on fluency and speaking accuracy among Indian ESL learners. The study investigates the relationship between linguistic knowledge, communicative abilities, and contextual understanding in the development of language competency through quantitative analysis and qualitative observations. The results show how important it is to combine learner-centered teaching strategies, dynamic assessment techniques, and focused language instruction to help ESL students develop their speaking proficiency and get ready for success in a variety of linguistic contexts in the social, professional, and academic spheres.
