| Abstract | Developing oral communication skills is crucial for students to communicate effectively. However, students struggle to express their ideas using the English language. This study aimed to enhance the oral communication skills of Grade 11 students under General Academic Strand (GAS) by employing Suggestopedia and Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approaches. This study employed the quasi-experimental design. Seventy Grade 11 students were chosen via the simple random sampling method. The researcher conducted a pretest and post-test through an impromptu speech, which was assessed using the Student Oral Language Observation Matrix (SOLOM). Descriptive statistics were utilized to present the results, a t-test for paired samples was used to show the significant differences in the participants’ oral communication skills performance before and after the interventions, and Mann Whitney U test was utilized to see if there are significant differences in the rating increments of the two groups. Data revealed that there is a worthwhile improvement in the two groups of participants’ oral communication skills performance after the interventions. Suggestopedia and Communicative Language Teaching approaches have significant influence on enhancing students’ oral communication skills. However, CLT approach appeared to have better results as compared to the Suggestopedia approach specifically in the comprehension component. It is recommended that teachers implement interactive activities, such as fun filled activities with incorporation of music and CLT activities. |
