Abstract
The present study aimed at investigating the effect of using a scenario-based strategy on developing EFL speaking skills of secondary stage students and on increasing their engagement. The study adopted the quasi-experimental design. Participants were sixty secondary stage students; thirty students represented the control group which received the traditional method, and the other thirty students represented the experimental group which received the treatment, i.e. using scenario-based strategy. Instruments of the study were a pre-post speaking test and a rubric for scoring the speaking skills test and an engagement scale. Results of the statistical analysis showed that there was a significant development in students’ EFL speaking skills and in their engagement. Consequently, using a scenario-based strategy proved to be effective in developing the secondary stage students’ EFL speaking skills and in increasing their engagement.
Keywords: Scenario-Based Strategy, EFL Speaking Skills, Engagement, Secondary Stage.
