The Effect of Strategic Planning on Developing EFL Preparatory School Pupils’ Reading Skill

Abstract

The study aims at investigating the effect of using strategic planning on developing EFL Preparatory school pupil’s reading skill. This study is hypothesized that there is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group who is taught by strategic planning and the control group who is taught by conventional strategy in post reading test and there is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group who is taught by strategic planning and the control group who is taught by conventional strategy in post reading test. The sample of this study consists of (60) pupils who have been chosen from Fourth scientific grade (biological branch) at Al-Bayan Preparatory School for Girls. (30) pupils have been chosen to be the experimental group, and (30) pupils have been chosen to be the control group, in the academic year (2021 -2022). Both groups have been equalized in such variables from educational level of parent, English scores in previous schooling year, and the pre-test of both groups. The data collecting from results of the post-test have been analyzed statistically by using T- test of two independent samples and paired samples formula. The results explain that there is a statistically significant difference in the mean scores of the experimental group who is taught according to strategic planning and the control group who is taught by using the conventional method. Based on the obtained results and conclusions in this study, suitable suggestions for further studies are put forward.
