Impact of the Interviews on the Students’ Speaking Skills.

This study was conducted to explore the potential benefits of interview activities in improving the speaking skills of EFL students. As EFL students often require additional support to improve their speaking skills, the authors adopted a quasi-experimental approach involving pre-and post-tests to analyze the effectiveness of this intervention. Participants were divided into two groups - an experimental and a control group - with the former undergoing a pre-test, treatment session, and post-test. At the same time, the latter only received pre- and post-tests. The study evaluated various speaking skills, including fluency, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and comprehension. The results indicated that the intervention positively impacted the experimental group's speaking skills, with their improvement significantly higher than that of the control group. The interview technique effectively enhanced EFL students' speaking skills, enabling them to participate more actively in learning activities and boosting their confidence when communicating in English. The research findings provide encouraging possibilities for individuals who aim to improve their oral communication abilities, paving the way for them to achieve greater academic and professional success. With these insights, learners can confidently sharpen their speaking skills and effectively communicate their ideas, opinions, and perspectives, which can positively impact their personal growth and career advancement.
