Speaking English’ can be interpreted in a couple of ways. Firstly, as part of a longer sentence, where ‘speaking’ is the verb: ‘The students are speaking English at the moment.’ Secondly, where ‘speaking’ is the gerund: ‘Speaking English is very difficult.’ or ‘I’m used to speaking English now.’ In all of these cases, the meaning is the same and refers to the actual act of speaking.
‘Spoken’ is an adjective when placed before ‘English’. This noun phrase is often used to distinguish different English skills, for example, to distinguish spoken English from written English.

“Spoken English” is English as spoken by its speakers, as opposed to “Written English”. Another word for this is “Oral English”. “Speaking English” is merely a noun phrase that can begin a sentence. ... Some people prefer spoken over written English, because the spoken form is more casual, less formal/academic.
Thank you.
