Abstract | ||||
The present research investigated the effectiveness of implementing a program based on some habits of mind (HoMs) on improving the English speaking skills of secondary-stage students in technology-enhanced classrooms. This research adopted the quasi-experimental design. The subjects of this research were (50) participants, they were selected randomly from first-year secondary stage students at Port Said Military Secondary School for boys. They were divided into two groups (control and experimental). To determine the most required EFL speaking skills to be developed, a questionnaire containing a list of such skills with their performance sub-skills was designed for TEFL specialists. Based on the selected skills, the researchers designed a pre-post speaking test and a scoring rubric for collecting data. Results revealed that the program based on some HoMs was effective in developing the targeted English speaking skills. The research is concluded by providing suggestions for future instructional practice and research directions. | ||||
