The development of speech skills takes a significant role in the cognitive-emotional and social development of an individual. Speech is not only a means of communication but, to a greater degree, one of the obvious results of mental processes, intellectual development, and social interaction. The current article approaches speech as a complex result of a developing process where acquisition and psychological issues work together. Supported by linguistics and psychological materials, it draws on several prominent theories such as Piaget's and Vygotsky's with a view to illuminating their potential contribution toward establishing the correlation between language and thought. Also, it will highlight the article's emphasis on how sociocultural variables and cognitive processes bear on speech skills development through pointing out an overview of the research in the subject area.
