Abstract

Background and Aims In the era of globalization, interactive pedagogy is used to enhance students' interest in learning, stimulate the internal motivation to learn oral English, and improve the sense of participation and language learning outcomes. The study aimed to assess the impact of interactive pedagogical learning methods on students' oral English ability and satisfaction. The significance of this research lies in innovating teaching methods and improving spoken English. By designing practice activities with clear goals, students are guided to participate in interactive practice learning.


Methodology: This study utilized a pre-experimental design featuring a one-group pretest-posttest model. The sample selected in this study was 30 students in grade 7 of the No.1 Junior High School in Changchun City, Jilin Province (1 class) in the academic year 2023, which was derived from a cluster random sampling method. The research tools were (1) Course lesson plan, (2) Oral English Quiz, and (3) Student satisfaction questionnaire. Conduct pre-test and post-test on the sample using the Oral English Quiz, and analyze the mean, standard deviation, paired sample t-test, and one-sample t-test of the data using statistical software.


Result: After using learning through the Interactive Teaching Method, the oral English ability improved by 13.75%, surpassing the predetermined criteria of 70% and the difference was statistically significant at 0.01. Based on the scores from the statistical student satisfaction questionnaire, the overall results of the Interactive Teaching Method on oral English ability by students are at a high level (M=4.81, SD=0.39).


Conclusion: Research has confirmed that the use of interactive teaching methods can significantly improve English speaking ability, stimulate students' interest in learning, develop their independent learning ability, increase their motivation and initiative, and meet their individual learning needs. This is the new trend of education in the future.
