Abstract

    The current research aims to find out the effectiveness of teaching English language subjects using listening and speaking skills in the achievement of fifth-grade primary school students. The researcher adopted the experimental research approach. The research sample was (50) students who were chosen randomly. The research tool is the achievement test, the paragraphs of which were prepared from the type of objective tests.  The multiple choice items with three alternatives reached (20) items after the validity and reliability of the tool were extracted.  When the researcher finished the application, the experimental and control groups were tested in the post-achievement test, and after collecting the data, the results of the research showed statistically using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program that the students of the experimental group to whom the English language subjects were applied excelled in the skills of listening and speaking over the control group to which they were applied.  They were taught them the same subject topics in the traditional way, and was concluded that teaching according to the listening and speaking skills is more powerful and reliable than the usual method in raising the level of achievement among female students. The researcher recommended the need to train primary school teachers on new teaching methods, including the method of teaching according to the listening and speaking skills for the purpose of using them.  In teaching English language subjects, the researcher suggested conducting future research similar to the current research on stages, study materials, and other dependent variables in developing other thinking skills.
