    The present work: Lack of speaking practice of English and the effects in students’ language communicative development was conducted with the objective of analyzing the lack of practice in oral production and the effects on the communicative development of third year students of Modern Languages degree at the University of El Salvador. The investigation used quantitative approach research with an explanatory design in order to seek the reasons for the problem, identifying the causes of the lack of oral production and the effects produced in the communicative development. The variables under study: oral production and communicative development. The former is one of the four language skills that refers to the ability to produce and convey meaning through spoken language. And, the latter is a process by which the student acquires the ability and knowledge enough to receive and release their ideas correctly. The question to be answered was: How does lack of practice in oral production of English language affect the communicative development of students? The technique applied was a survey, and an instrument was used as a questionnaire with ten questions. It was administered to ten third year students as a sample. The results showed how the students' communicative development is affected, since students not only have awareness, motivation and knowledge of the need to practice the language and improve their vocabulary, but also, they have limitations in their speaking skills, since they pause and hesitate when speaking, while at the same time they do not carry out activities in class to improve their fluency.
