The Influence of Language Environment on The Development of Coherent Speech in Foreign Language Groups

Abstract

The development of coherent speech is one of the most essential aspects of language learning, especially in foreign language groups where learners are exposed to a non-native linguistic system. This article examines how the language environment influences the formation and improvement of coherent speech skills. It explores theoretical perspectives, types of language environments, key factors affecting speech development, and practical strategies to enhance communicative competence. The findings highlight that a rich, interactive, and immersive language environment significantly contributes to learners’ ability to produce structured, meaningful, and fluent speech.
