Evaluating the effectiveness of group activities in the process of teaching speaking skills is very important to see the quality of students’ acquisition and receptivity. According to linguist Khamkhien, speaking is one of the most important skills when learning any foreign language, besides there are also preliminary assessments of the effectiveness of group activities in teaching skills. Mentioned but only mentioned the level and frequency of participation without studying the influencing factors. Students have the right to actively participate in learning.
In particular, students have to carry out group learning activities such as debate in class, divide study groups according to different topics, make presentations in front of class, write group essays, etc. to create favorable conditions for students to continue studying. Acquire knowledge, learn to capture reflexes. In quickest way.
However, group learning has not been effectively implemented by students, there is still a mindset of dependence and dependence, and there are disagreements and opinions among group members. Through which research shows that students do not have study skills, group association leading to effective debate time, group exercises have not achieved the desired results 2. Objectives of the study -general objective: to find out the reality of using group activities to improve speaking skills for first-year students at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology - specific objectives: systematically survey and research on the status of group study skills in order to improve English speaking reflexes, thereby finding the 1 causes of inefficiencies and proposing solutions to help students improve their English speaking skills, confidently communicate effectively and thoroughly 3. Scope of the study Due to the small scale of the study and the limitation of time, this study only focuses on examining how group-work techniques are used to improve the speaking skills of a group of Six-ty first-year students At Hai Phong University of Management and Technology.
Significance of the study This study is conducted with the expectation that its finding will provide readers with useful information. Specifically, this study will bring evidence to support the positive effects of using group-work on improve students’ speaking skill. In addition, it is expected that the thesis will better inform the teachers of a studentcentered approach to teaching speaking skills in order to gain the highest participation of students 1 PART B: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER 1: LITERATURE REVIEW 1. Rationales Teaching speaking skill is of great importance in second language learning.
Lerris (1999) asserts that teaching speaking helps learners to use language more fluently and speaking is a chance to notice the gaps between what they want to say and what they can say. Group-work techniques are widely accepted to be an effective way to encourage students to use the language and to motivate them to become more involved. Richards and Loc Khart (1994) point out that students not only play more active roles in the learning process but also get the benefits of sharing ideas with their team members through taking part in groups. Doff (1988) states that students feel less anxiety when they work privately with their peers than when they are in front of the whole class.
Group-work can help shy students, who never say anything in a whole class activity. How to promote students’ speaking skill is still a challenging question. Nine years’ experience as a teacher of English at HaUI has helped the researcher realize the fact that students are usually reluctant to speak when they are asked in speaking lessons. They find it difficult to express their ideas in English.
In addition, their participation in speaking classes is unequal. To tackle these problems, group-work activities are taken into a careful consideration in order to enhance students’ speaking skills. Nature of speaking skill Speaking is one of the four macro skills in addition to listening, reading and writing that are necessary for effective communication language in both first and second language learning contexts. As it was noted at the beginning of this work, the main objective of learning any foreign language is to be able to speak and communicate in that language.
Hence, speaking is very important since it provides learners with the opportunity to hold successful conversation as well as manage interaction. The learning of English speaking skills is a preference for a lot of English as foreign second language learners. Language learners sometimes evaluate their 2 success in language learning based on how well they have improved in their spoken language ability.
