Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 09
Abstract
This research paper investigates the effectiveness of interactive web pages as a supplementary tool for enhancing speaking skills among non-English majored students. By using survey research design with 122 students of English at The Banking Academy of Vietnam, the findings reveal some interesting results. Fluency aspect was believed the most beneficial aspect that interactive web pages can bring for students (M=4.01). Meanwhile, pronunciation obtained the least contribution to the improvement of speaking ability (M=2.69). However, further analysis indicated that the contributions of speaking aspects varied according to years of study. The mean of pronunciation aspect for Year1 (M = 3.57, SD = 0.58) was significantly larger than for Year 2 (M = 2.80, SD = 0.62), p < .001 and was significantly larger than for Year 3 (M = 2.21, SD = 0.38), p < .001. The result shows that students of year 1 believed that pronunciation was most enhanced through the use of interactive web pages (M=3.57) compared to M= 2.80; M=2.21 for year 2 and year 3 students respectively. The finding also reveals that the habits of using interactive web pages varied according to duration of study, i.e. first year students used pages to enhance speaking ability the least (M= 1.91) while the second year students use the most, M=4.33. The findings indicate that interactive web pages can significantly contribute to improving speaking skills among English majored students, providing valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers.
