Abstract Elicitation Techniques on Developing Some Speaking Skills of Al-Azhar Secondary Stage Students. Secondary school students’ poor speaking skills constituted the rationale for this study. The current study is limited to a sample of 40 second year secondary school students in Al-Azhar, Quesna institute for girls, Menofiya governorate. Twenty students served as the control group and the other twenty served as the experimental group. Both groups were observed and tested before experimentation using the instruments of the study that included an EFL pre-post speaking test that was prepared in the light of a list of speaking sub-skills required for the secondary stage, and a rubric for the EFL speaking skills test. Then, the experimental group students were taught using three integrated elicitation techniques that were included in the experimental treatment (IETBI)* prepared by the researcher whereas the control group students were taught using the traditional methods. After experimentation, both groups were tested using the same instruments. Data were treated statistically, and findings were analyzed and discussed. The findings of this study revealed that elicitation techniques are more effective than the traditional method in developing students speaking sub-skills of pronunciation, use of grammar, use of vocabulary and fluency. The results of the study were positive and the hypotheses were accepted. There were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group students and the control group students on speaking skills in favor of the experimental group. It was concluded that the present study provided evidence in the effect of elicitation techniques in developing speaking skills of the secondary stage. |
