Abstract
This study assessed the effects of Multimedia and Scaffolding Strategies on students
performance in English Language speaking and Listening Skills. 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.
