The present research addresses the problem of teaching speaking in the secondary phase for Libyan students. Traditional and activity-based approaches are compared in an attempt to show how innovative approaches are more fruitful. The research is confined to a randomly selected group of students from the Etaf Secondary School, Simian, Libya. The quasi- experimental method was selected. In this direction, the subjects were randomly selected. The randomly chosen group of 20 second-year students from the Etaf Secondary School, Simian, Libya, was divided into two groups: one control group of 10 students, and one Experimental group ot 10 students. Data were collected over an 8 week period in two classes, showing two conditions: Group A known as Control Group (n=10) did traditional speaking exercises only, Group B known as Experimental Group (n=10) did traditional speaking exercises with communicative methods. All EFL learners completed the pretest and posttest. The findings revealed that control group students performed better in the pre- and post-tests according to the innovative methods used.
