CHAPTER FIVE: SUGGESTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION
Chapter Five: Suggestion
and Recommendations
This chapter aims at drawing the attention of EFL program
designers, teachers and students on some solutions that can help ease group
work and therefore enhance collaborative skill in our EFL students'
classroom.
5.1 Suggestions
5.1.1 Suggestions
toStudents
I suggest that before any group work, teachers should tell
students exactly what type of behaviours is expected. They might want to
consider having students sign behaviour contacts before starting group work. I
wish we would sensitize students to cultivate tolerance and forgiveness. We
should tell to the strong students the advantages they will gain when
explaining to their mates what they understand on the activity.
5.1.2 Suggestions to
Teachers
To enhance collaborative work in our secondary schools, I
suggest that EFL teachers should play the role of monitor. They will circulate
in the class and when they notice any conflicts or bad behaviour, he should
interve. The teacher should explain the importance of listening to everyone in
the group.
As far as the results of my survey are concerned, I suggest
that for students' group, teachers should take a great interest in heregeneous
group which consists in mixing weak and strong students so that the members
with high proficiency can support the learners with lower proficiency. I wish
teachers should group together learners who do not share the same native
language and they will have no other choice but to use only English language to
accomplish a task. Teachers should motivate their learners so as to
perùit them to use the target language in the classroom and even out.
5.2. Recommendations
5.2.1 Recommendations to the
government
They should organize in-service training for teachers. By
so doing teachers can do well their job and improve their knowledge about group
work on EFL learners' speaking performance.
5.2.2 Recommendations to the
school authorities
They should encourage teachers to do well their job so as
to reach the objectives of the national school programs, and provide teachers
with the appropriate books for English language teaching and learning and for
group work on EFL learners' speaking performance.
5.2.1Recommendations to Teachers
Findings the potential implication of group work
activities on the individual performance in speaking assessment is the main
objective of the current study. Thus, for the effectiveness of this task, some
recommendations must be taken into account.
Teachers should be provided with the necessary resources
and support structures for effective implementation, which consists of teacher
training and support system such as class observation and feedback. Teachers
should often practice group work sections with their students. Teachers have to
let students work in group to find a solution of the given problem instead of
spoon-feeding them. Much speaking opportunities should be created to learners.
Teachers must create learning motivation to learners. They should always
correct the students' answers positively when need be and with
encouragement.Teachers have to worry about individual problem of learners and
help them in a way or in another to overcome these problems. Teachers must be
simple and flexible. Teachers ought to create a good learning atmosphere
