Abstract

Mastering English speaking skill helps learners communicate and negotiate in work and life more effectively in the era of globalization. Most English learners want to be able to speak English fluently like native speakers. However, learners encounter many difficulties in developing speaking skill although teachers have spent too much effort, and used many new teaching methods. Therefore, the research aims to evaluate the impact of using group work on students’ speaking ability, and identify students’ attitudes towards the application of group work in EFL classroom. Thanks to the findings of this study, teachers are able to prove the significant benefits of implementing group work to apply in English speaking teaching context widely.
