The effect of the live and symbolic model on developing speaking skill

Abstract

The research aims to know the effect of the live and symbolic model in developing the speaking skill of the preparatory stage students. The purpose of achieving this aim, the researcher built a tool to measure the speaking skill, and deliberately chose one of the preparatory schools for boys to be a sample for the research, as it amounted to (20) students divided into two experimental groups and after conducting the reward between them, the first experimental group was taught according to the living model, while the second experimental group was taught according to the symbolic model. The researcher used statistical methods (Mann Whitney test, Wilcoxen test, the equation for extracting the distinction of test items, and the equation for extracting the difficulty of test items). The researcher reached the progress of the second experimental group, which was studied according to the symbolic model on the first experimental group, accordingly, the use of modern technological methods effectively contributes to better education.
