Abstract

This study is attempted to determine the students’ passing ratio in English speaking skills and explore the effects of group work in teaching English speaking skills to general nurse students at DUMTP. 282 third-year students were selected to participate in the research. The collected data included scores of the pre- and post-treatment of oral tests and information from the questionnaires. The result showed little difference between pre- and post-test scores with the three teaching techniques: traditional, group work and traditional and group work combined; however, the findings showed the students’ positive attitude towards group work in class. Hence, group work activities could have significant pedagogical implications and could be a useful technique in a language classroom if they are carefully planned.
