An achievement test of three conversations and teachers questionnaire consists of (34) questions distributed among (60) teachers of English. The data has been statistically analyzed by using SPSS 24. It was concluded that there were some conversation problems among the students, which can be attributed to the following reasons:1. Students have no desire to engage in more conversation or dialogue. 2. Teachers rarely listen to their students while engaging in certain conversations, 3. The Spine Program does not address all student needs and provides for short periods of conversation and teachers are rarely supportive of shy students. Based on the findings, to overcome students' conversation problem, the current study recommends that teachers should encourage and urge students to practice their conversation on a regular basis and teachers should adopt effective strategies to enhance students' conversational skills. Moreover, it also suggests that that the Ministry of Education should initiate professional training programs for English language teachers to boost up their teaching experiences, notably in the field of teaching English speaking skills.
