Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate “the effect of using fishbowl strategy to improve primary stage pupils' EFL speaking skills”. The quasi experimental design was adopted as there were 60 participants in grade five. They were randomly divided into two groups; the treatment group (N= 30) and the non-treatment group (N=30). The treatment was conducted during the first term of the scholastic year 2019 / 2020 in one of the primary schools at Beni Suef Governorate. The treatment group participants were taught using fishbowl strategy whereas the non-treatment group pupils received the same course through the traditional methods. The results revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the treatment group and non-treatment group in the post administration of the speaking test in favor of the treatment group. In addition, it was concluded that the fishbowl is effective in improving the primary stage pupils' speaking skills.
