The objectives of the study were to: investigate the effects of Multimedia Strategy on Senior Secondary School Students' performance in English Language speaking skills in Kaduna State; determine the effects of Scaffolding Strategy on Senior Secondary School Students' performance in English Language Speaking skills in Kaduna State; determine the effects of Multimedia and Scaffolding Strategies on Senior Secondary School Students' performance in English Language Speaking skills in Kaduna State; investigate the effects of Multimedia, Scaffolding Strategies and Conventional method on the performance of students in English Language speaking skills in Senior Secondary Schools in Kaduna State; investigate the effects of Multimedia Strategy on Senior Secondary School Students' performance in English Language Listening Skills in Kaduna State; determine the effects of Scaffolding Strategy on Senior Secondary School Students' performance in English Language Listening Skills in Kaduna State; determine the effects of Multimedia and Scaffolding Strategies on Senior Secondary School Students' performance in English Language Listening Skills in Kaduna State; and, find out the effects of Multimedia, Scaffolding Strategics and Conventional method on Senior Secondary School Students' performance in English Language Listening Skills in Kaduna Slate. In line with the objectives eight research questions and hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The quasi-experimental research design which involved non-randomization of samples was used for the study. The study had 18,720 senior secondary school II students in Kaduna State as its target population. The sample size consisted of 330 senior secondary school students using a purposive sampling technique. An adapted test of multiple choices in English Language speaking and Listening Skills in senior secondary II students' syllabus was the instrument used for data collection. The validated instrument was pilot tested and a reliability coefficient of 0.85 was obtained. Research questions were analysed using descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation. Hypotheses 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 were tested using t-test, while hypotheses 4 and 8 were tested using ANOVA. The hypotheses formulated for the study were rejected and retained at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that the performance of students taught speaking skills using Multimedia and Scaffolding Strategies were significantly better than those of their counterparts taught using Conventional method; those that were taught Listening Skills using Multimedia and Scaffolding Strategies performed better than their counterparts taught using Conventional method. It was concluded that students will perform significantly better if taught English Language Speaking and Listening Skills using Multimedia and Scaffolding Strategies often rather than the Conventional method of teaching only. From the study the following recommendations were made: There is need for Kaduna Slate Ministry of Education to mount periodic training sessions for the teachers of English Language who are already in the field to be retrained on recent discoveries regarding the use of Multimedia and Scaffolding leaching Strategies in teaching English Language speaking and Listening Skills. Also, there is need for English Language teachers in the field to have a forum periodically to assess the effectiveness of their teaching using Multimedia and Scaffolding Strategies as applicable to the organisation of content of the school syllabuses in Senior Secondary Schools in Kaduna State.
