the effect of using a strategy based on alcpt application on 10th grade efl students' oral skills and their attitudes toward it
The study aimed to investigate the effect of using a strategy based on ALCPT Application on developing 10th grade students' oral skills and their attitudes toward it. The participants of the study consisted of 56 students studying at Mughayyir Alsarhan Secondary School for Girls at Almafraq Directorate of Education. The students were already divided into two sections by the school administration. They were assigned into two groups randomly by the researcher; the first was assigned as the experimental group and was subjected to using ALCPT application-based strategy, and the other was the control group which was taught using the regular instruction method. The experimental group consisted of 27 students while the control group included 29 students. The quasi-experimental design including pre-post-test was used in the study, and the questionnaire was also applied to the experimental group. Means, standard deviation, and t-tests were carried out. The findings revealed that there were statistically significant differences at (P = 0.05) between the mean scores of both groups on the students' listening and speaking post-tests in favor of the experimental group. The findings also revealed that most of the experimental group students' responses were "Strongly Agree" and "Agree" toward using a strategy based on ALCPT application in learning oral skills. This indicated that using a strategy based on ALCPT application had a positive impact on the students' attitudes. Accordingly, the researcher recommended integrating the strategy based on ALCPT application in teaching listening and speaking skills to learn the language because of its effect on developing students' listening and speaking skills.
