Implementing ludic strategies for the development of english oral skills

Abstract

The main objective of the present research was to implement a classroom system using playful strategies to improve high school students' oral communication skills in English language learning. The specific objective included analyzing the methods and activities currently employed in English language teaching, assessing students' initial levels of oral proficiency, designing a classroom system that integrates playful activities, and evaluating the results after implementation. The study employed an empirical-analytical quantitative approach to examine the factors contributing to students' challenges in oral communication. Data were collected using non- participant observation, diagnostic assessments, rubrics, and structured questionnaires. Post-test results demonstrated significant improvements across all indicators, fluency, pronunciation, grammar, and content, compared to the pre-test. It confirms that the application of play strategies significantly improved the students' oral communication skills. The findings show that playful activities create a fun and interactive learning environment. They boost participation, lower anxiety, and help students use the language naturally and effectively. That's why teachers should regularly use these strategies in English classes at both primary and secondary levels.
