Abstract
The present study aims at investigating the effectiveness of story retelling strategy
in developing some English oral communication skills of secondary stage students.
The participants of this study consisted of fifty students selected from first- year
secondary stage students at Port-Said Secondary School for Girls, in the second
semester of the academic year 2014-2015. They were randomly assigned into two
groups: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group (25
students) received training through applying story retelling strategy. On the other
hand, the control group (25 students) received instruction through the regular
method. The quasi-experiment design was used. A questionnaire for jury members
was designed and distributed to determine the most important oral
communication skills for first- year secondary stage students. Based on these
selected skills, a pre-post oral communication skills test was prepared. The
treatment was applied by the researcher to develop the required oral
communication skills of the experimental group students in eight sessions; each
session was a period of about 45 minutes per week. Results of the study proved
the effectiveness of story retelling strategy in developing some English oral
communication (listening and speaking) skills identified in the present study of
first- year secondary stage students.
