Student’s Attitudes towards Communicative Activities on EFL Student’s Speaking Performance

Abstract

Speaking proficiency is regarded as one of the essential language skills presumed successful when learners can use what they learn to communicate well. However, many English as a foreign language (EFL) students struggle to master this ability due to a lack of exposure to communication situations. The study aims to determine students' attitudes towards communication activities in the language learning process. This study was conducted with the participation of 21 grade 5 in Vinh Binh Primary School, located in Ben Tre province, to give the answers to the questionnaire with items about using communicative activities in the classroom to enhance students' speaking skills. The findings revealed that communicative activities had a considerable impact on improving experimental students' speaking performance. Moreover, students showed positive views on using communicative activities in their speaking classrooms.
