Abstract
The issue of poor and wrong articulation of English Language sounds had been
noticed among junior secondary school students in Giwa Educational Zone of
Kaduna State. An observation by the researcher who went round the schools to
interact with students and teachers discovered that most teachers do not teach
listening and speaking skills and some of those who taught it were not using
appropriate resources that could assist the students. With the little discovery of the
researcher in this aspect, the researcher then decided to aim at finding out the effects
of multimedia on listening and speaking skills of Junior Secondary School Students in
Giwa Educational Zone of Kaduna State. Quasi-experimental design of pretest and
posttest group was adopted for the study. The research instrument was performance
test for both control and experimental group. The sample for the study was two
hundred (200) students purposely selected from a population of (12,104) in twenty-six
Government Junior Secondary Schools in Giwa Educational Zone of Kaduna State.
One hundred of the sample was randomly assigned to form the experimental group
and another one hundred to form the control group. Inferential and descriptive
statistics were the statistical tools used for data analysis. Four null hypotheses were
tested and analyze with t-test statistic. The finding from the study shows that all the
null hypotheses were rejected. The findings revealed that there was a significant
difference between the performances in the two groups. The experimental group was
found to have higher mean scores of 72.45 in speaking skill and 31.15 in listening
skill while the control groups have 27.35 in speaking and 19.70 in listening.
Multimedia was found to be effective resources for teaching and learning of English
Language listening and speaking skills. It was however concluded that, multimedia
enables students to be more motivated and interested in learning listening and
speaking skills. Based on the findings recommendations were made among which
includes that government should make concerted efforts to provide computer facilities
in secondary school and awareness on the need for multimedia in our educational
system.
