Keywords:
Speaking skills, CEFR, multimedia presentationAbstract
The research examined the effectiveness of multimedia presentation, role play and debate in improving CEFR B1 level EFL learners’ speaking skills. Two-group experimental research design helped to collect data among higher class pupils. A questionnaire helped to study the opinions of English teachers of Uzbek public schools in Tashkent. The duration of treatment contained five months, three lessons in a week. The outcomes demonstrated that the p-value=<0.001 was less than .05, exactly, which means the difference between the two groups’ achievement was statistically significant. The groups yielded a small effect size. Cohen’s d=2.178 for experimental was slightly higher than the other group (Cohen’s=1,769). The limitation of the study depends on controlling time in the process of utilizing three techniques in a lesson. The research concluded integrating techniques to improve the speaking skills of EFL learners who have different learning styles in the CEFR context.
