Asmaa Zaghloul Abd Elatty Mohammed: The Effectiveness of a Program Based on Digital Posters and Video-Based Reflection in Developing Preparatory Stage Pu-pils' EFL Speaking Fluency Skills

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of a program based on digital posters and videobased reflection in developing the EFL fluency skills of preparatory stage pupils. Sixty 1styear preparatory school students were selected from Abi Bakr Al-Siddiq Preparatory School in East Shubra Al-Khaima, Qalyubia Governorate, during the academic year 2023/2024. They were divided into two groups: an experimental group (30) and a control group (30). The instruments and materials used included an EFL fluency speaking skills checklist, an EFL speaking pre-posttest, an EFL fluency speaking skills rubric, a program based on digital posters and video-based reflection. Both groups underwent pretesting on their EFL speaking fluency skills before the experiment and were then post-tested after its completion. The experimental treatment spanned two weeks, with one session daily, during the first term of the school year 2023/2024. The experimental group utilized digital posters and engaged in videobased reflection, and the control group received regular instruction. The results of the t-test revealed a significant development in the participants' EFL speaking fluency skills due to the implementation of the program. This leads to the conclusion that the use of digital posters and video-based reflection significantly enhances the EFL speaking fluency skills of preparatory school pupils.
