Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the cooperative learning (CL) strategy on English speaking competence at the intermediate level at the University of Finance-Marketing (UFM). It was conducted within 2 months. A pre-test and post-test were applied to determine the effectiveness of research treatments (i.e. Kagan CL strategies) in English speaking comprehension at the intermediate level. Moreover, a questionnaire was used to enquire into the students’ attitudes towards applying CL in the classroom. To determine the result of this study, the independent sample t-test, paired sample t-test and frequency command were used to analyze the collected data. The result showed that CL strategy enhanced English as a foreign language (EFL) students’ English-speaking competence at the intermediate level. The result of the study affirmed the positive effectiveness of CL strategies in teaching English-speaking performance at the intermediate level of EFL students. Through the study, the author also suggested using some different teaching strategies such as Student Teams-Achievement Divisions in teaching English to continue to enhance the effectiveness of CL on English speaking performance.
