Abstract:
تهدف هذه الدراسة الى البحث بطريقة تجريبية في اثر استخدام عمل المجموعة في تدريس التمرين الشفهي لتحصيل طالبات المرحلة الاعدادية. حيث ان عينة الدراسة الحالية هي طالبات الخامس الاعدادي (الفرع العلمي) في محافظة ديالى للعام الدراسي 2001/2002. تم تحديد المادة ا | Group work is an effective technique for teaching English to students learning a foreign language. Even those students who have no prior experience with this type of technique in the classroom can quickly learn to use it. This technique presents cooperative learning as an effective technique to involve EFL students in using English and to make learning more enjoyable. This technique helps them students build rapport and foster a climate of caring and sharing in the classroom. Group work technique can improve learners’ speaking skills in any situation, and help learners to interact. As for the shy learners, this technique helps them by providing a mask where learners with difficulty in conversation are liberated. In addition, it is fun and most learners agree that enjoyment leads to better learning. This study is an attempt to investigate experimentally the effect of using Group Work Technique in teaching oral practice on the achievement of the preparatory school students. Group work technique is intended to improve students’ learning through providing them with opportunities to ask questions and communicate with each other. The sample of the present study is female students of the fifth preparatory stage (the Scientific Branch) in Diala during the academic year 2001 - 2002. The items of the materials are limited to Oral Practice Book - 7 - of the New English Course for Iraq (NECI). It is hypothesized that there is no significant difference between the mean scores of the students who are taught by using group work and the students who are taught according to Audio - Lingual Method as suggested in the Teachers’ Guide on : 1. the written test used;2. the oral test used; and3. the total achievement of the two tests.To fulfil the aim of this study, “an experimental group - control group design” is used in the experiment. Two sections of thirty students are chosen randomly from fifth preparatory geide. One of them is selected to be the experimental group (taught the oral practice with the group work technique), the other is the control group (taught without the group work technique). The subjects of both groups are matched in the : level of parents’ education and in the level of subjects’ achievements in English in the fourth preparatory grade and their age. Written and oral tests were constructed and exposed to a jury for the purpose of ascertaining their validity. An item analysis is carried out to determine the item difficulty and their discrimination power. Reliability of the written test was estimated by using the test - retest method. The scorers’ reliability was used with the oral test.At the end of the experiment, the tests were administered.After analyzing the results statistically, it has been found that there were significant differences between the two groups in both the written and oral tests. The students of the experimental group have been better than the students of the control group, which indicates that teaching oral practice by using group work technique is more effective than teaching oral practice without using this technique. The study has concluded that this technique allows for physical activity to break up the routine of sitting in the same place throughout the whole class period. Another conclusion is that students can learn from each other and can get more practice with the foreign language through working in a small group. On the basis of the findings and conclusions of the study, a number of suggestions and recommendations are made. These can be of assistance to the learners and practising teachers who are involved in an EFL writing course. Further, some suggestions are useful in material production with reference to the vital role of the group work in teaching English.
