Influence of kinesthetic activity to develop the oral skill of efl (english foreign language)

Abstract:

Kinesthetic learning is a teaching method that involves students’ physical interaction among each other and the environment. The typical method of teaching, a classroom with the teacher talking and students listening and taking notes, has been a method used many years, but it is a method that not let students assimilate knowledge at all. This Project entails to show that the kinesthetic learning activities can be a very useful alternative. Research suggests that nonverbal communication plays an important role in second language communicative competence, however little attention has been given to incorporate this essential element into their classrooms. This work begins by examining the variables (kinesthetic and oral skill) and their relation between them. Subsequently, specific activities that bring the visual and auditory channels together through use of real objects in classroom to teach, drama, role play, games of memory, charades, craft and jump rope games are shared with the purpose of stimulating teachers’ creativity in producing their own classroom activities to raise students’ awareness of how to encode and decode the visual as well as auditory cues in communicative exchanges
