Abstract
This research aimed at studying the effect of using didactic teaching to develop EFL AlAzhar secondary stage students’ productive skills and reduce their anxiety. The participants of this research were (60) second year AlAzhar secondary stage students at Bellamon and Tahway Secondary Institutes for Girls, Sinblaween, Dakahlia, Egypt. The research adopted the quasi-experimental design using two groups. Each group included thirty participants. To collect data, the researcher used six instruments: an EFL speaking skills test, an EFL speaking skills scoring rubric, an EFL writing skills test, an EFL writing skills scoring rubric, speaking anxiety scale, and writing anxiety scale. The researcher taught both groups: the experimental group was taught through a program based on didactic teaching, while the control group was taught through the traditional method of teaching. Results of the study revealed that a program based on didactic teaching had a significant effect on developing AlAzhar secondary stage students’ EFL speaking and writing skills and reducing their EFL speaking anxiety and writing anxiety. Moreover, the effect size of the program based on didactic teaching was found to be high. Therefore, this research recommended using didactic teaching to enhance English language competence at different educational stages.
