4.2.2 Results from
Interviews
Apart from the above methods the system of interview which
is face to face dialogue with learners was used. My first question with
learners that interviewed was about the using of group work in their class and
the second question dealt with their preference among individual work, pair
work and group work. All of them told me that their teachers told them to work
in group and most of them prefer to work in group. My third question was to
know if group work can impact students' speaking ability. Most of them believe
that working in group improves their speaking performance. My fourth question
was to know if group work is necessary in language learning. By answering they
recognize that group work is necessary in the process of language learning. My
last question to the students was to know the reasons why they do not speak
English during the English class. The majority of the learners indicates that
they are unable to participate because of many weaknesses at different levels:
accuracy, pronunciation, vocabulary... and they are also affected by some
psychological problems like the lack of self-confidence.
In addition, I have also interviewed the teachers. My
interviews with them were to check if they use group work strategy in their
classes and to know if according to them group work can improve students'
speaking performance. They answer that they use often group work strategy in
their classes. They added that group work is very necessary in the process of
teaching speaking activities in an EFL class because it improves students
speaking ability. One of the teachers said that: «Leaners have seen
that group work creates natural real-life interactions in which they have
logical reasons for listening to one another, asking question, clarifying
issues and helping each other.»
