the effect of a voki based-instructional program on jordanian efl tenth-grade students’ speaking skill
This study investigated the effect of a VOKI based-instructional program on the speaking skill of EFL tenth-grade students. A quasi-experimental methodology was applied to two groups. The researchers assigned two sections of tenth-grade students at Um Al-Jemal secondary school for boys, a public institution under the directorate of education in north-east Badiah. The first section was randomly designated as the experimental group (n=20), and the second as the control group (n=20). A pre-/post-speaking skill test was prepared to achieve the study's goals. The experimental group was instructed using VOKI based-instructional program, while the control group was taught using the standard speaking strategy as outlined in the Teacher's Book. The findings indicated that VOKI based-instructional program significantly improved students' speaking skill. Based on the study's results, the researchers recommend that students of different EFL skill levels consider implementing VOKI based-instructional program as a teaching strategy. (Published abstract)
