Developing Speaking Skills Using Three Comunicative Activites ( Discussion, Problem Solving, and Role Playing) #3


Hello peeps..
Welcome to my blog.
Today I will share about discussion on my journal that I have read before.

This study produced several important results. These are discussed below.
The posttest mean score of the students’ English speaking abilities was significantly higher than the pretest one after the employing the three communicative activities, discussion, problem-solving, and role-playing.

Teaching English speaking skills using the three communicative activities is a learning method focusing on the learner-centeredness. Students work in small groups divided by their language proficiency, i.e., high, medium, and low levels. Using this technique, students can have an opportunity to work together providing help to others while performing the activity. The atmosphere in working in groups can lessen their fear in making mistakes when speaking English. Students in the group can support others in the team needing help. They can express themselves successfully while working in groups. This can lead to self monitoring, more confidence in speaking, and enjoyment can encourage them to participate more in learning. The results of this study supported the effectiveness of these three communicative activities in developing English speaking skills. Reference conducted a study of development of English speaking skills using two communicative activities, Information-gap and Roleplaying. The samples were 38 second-year Business English students of Udon Thani Rajabhat Institute in Thailand. The results of the study revealed that the students’ English speaking skills were significantly higher after using these two communicative activities. Students’ intensive interaction was effective in developing speaking English proficiency.

The students’ attitude towards teaching English speaking skills using the three communicative activities was rated as good. This may result from having been provided adequate language functions in situations that occur in real communication leading to their confidence in speaking the language. They felt satisfied with their speaking English when using these three communicative activities. The process of teaching and learning helped creating enjoyment in speaking English in small groups. The feelings of success in learning to speak English through the three activities establish their motivation to learn the language.
