Effectiveness of groupwork activities in teaching English speaking skills for students

Abstract

This article explores the effectiveness of group work in teaching speaking skills. While traditional teaching methods, such as teacher-centered lectures and guided discussions, have their importance, many educators have recognized the value of incorporating group work into the learning process. Working in small groups both inside and outside the classroom serves as a significant supplement to lectures, enabling students to grasp concepts more thoroughly and apply them to real-life situations that require critical thinking.
