“…Indeed, the assignment of making a video of broadcasting in English really motivates them to learn English vocabularies, enhances them to feel confident when speaking English, engages them to be more creative and innovative in making a video, enhances them to explore their chance to redo and create improvisations, and so on. This is in line with Becker, C. & Roos, J. (2016) that improvisation activities are badly needed for students in classroom practice particularly in teaching English.…”

“…Results of the current study add up to those of the previous studies conducted by Dee & Barkley (2001), Bakr ( 2004 ), Hussein and Carignan ( 2016 ) in that they proved the effectiveness of using SCAMPER strategy in developing the pupils' creativity . The results are also consistent with the Creative Speaking approach developed by Becker & Roos (2016) aiming to promote productive language use in the young learners' classroom. Results of the present study are evident that teaching story to primary stage pupils using SCAMPER strategy could help them improve their Creative Speaking Skills.…”

he purpose of this study was to examine the effect of using SCAMPER-based activities in teaching story in developing EFL primary stage pupils' Speaking Skills .The study adopted the quasi-experimental design that involved two groups ; an experimental group and a control group. The sample of the study consisted of sixty pupils randomly selected from six grades Fakhr Dakahlia Language School in Mansoura city, thirty pupils represented the control group and thirty pupils represented the experimental group. The current study was delimited to the Creative Speaking Skills. To fulfill this purpose the researcher designed and used two instruments; a prepost test for measuring the pupils' Creative Speaking Skills and a rubric. SCAMPER-based activities were administered to the experimental group for eight weeks, whereas the control group was taught in the traditional way. Results of the study indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control group in the post administration of the Creative Speaking Skills in favor of the experimental group. This revealed that the use of SCAMPER strategy led to a significant improvement in the pupils' Creative Speaking Skills. Therefore, it was recommended that Ministry of Education should hold trainings for EFL teachers in using SCAMPER strategy in teaching story, in order to help their pupils develop their Speaking Skills.

“…Engel ja Groot-Wilkenin (2007) tutkimuksessa havaittiin, että vaikka rutiininomaisten suullisten ilmaisujen opettaminen voi johtaa vahvempiin kuullun ja luetun ymmärtämisen taitoihin, tämä ei välttämättä ylläpidä motivaatiota. Opetuksessa tulisi tarjota mahdollisuuksia käyttää kieltä luovasti ja näin tukea lasten vuorovaikutustaitojen kehittymistä (Becker & Roos 2016). Iso-Britanniassa tehdyssä tutkimuksessa Mitchell ja Myles (2018) painottavat, että varsinaisen kielitaidon kerryttämisen ohessa varhaisen kieltenopetuksen tulisi tukea (kielen)opiskelutaitojen kehittymistä.…”

As of January 2020, all Finnish pupils are to start their foreign language studies in the first grade. This study examined the effects of early language teaching by comparing pupils in grades 1, 2 and 3. The pupils had started studying English in August 2017 and had all had roughly the same number of English lessons by the time of the study in early 2018. The study examined pupils’ attitudes towards English and studying English as well as how pupils use English in their free time. Pupils also self-assessed their English skills and completed vocabulary and text segmentation tasks. The results show that the pupils had an overall positive attitude towards English and language learning. Analyses of pupils’ language skills and extramural use of English revealed statistically significant differences between 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders. Findings and their possible explanations are discussed.
