This study aims at investigating the effectiveness of using
cued-dialogue and information gap activities on developing
speaking skills of the fifth graders in Diyala governorate schools.
To achieve the aim of the study, the researcher adopted the
experimental design on 24 October,2011. The sample of the study
consisted of (69) male students divided into (35) students for the
experimental group and (34) students for the control one. It is
randomly chosen from Al-GhadilMushraq Secondary School in
Diyala Governorate.
The researcher designed activities related to speaking topics,
these activities are based on cued-dialogue and information gap
activities which are used in teaching the experimental group, while
the traditional method is used in teaching the control one in the
first term of the school year (2011-2012).The Analysis of the
results proves that there is a statistically significant difference
between the mean scores of the two groups in favour of the
experimental group at each level of the speaking skills in the post
test. In the light of those findings, the researcher suggested some
recommendations that are hoped to help syllabus designers,
supervisors and English language teachers in developing teaching
speaking skills.In the conclusion of this study, the researcher has
put forward some suggestions for futures researches.
