Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun
This project was concerned with the study of scaffolding as a tool for improving students' content-wise oral presentation. This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of the method scaffolding in assisting students' content-wise oral performance. Since it was an experimental study, there was a comparison between the experimental group and the control group in oral performance. Besides, there was also a comparison between the male and female samples' oral performance in both groups. The participants were 40 Form 6 students from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sungkai, Sungkai. The experimental group consisted of 21 students with 6 males and 15 females, while the control group had 19 students with 4 males and 15 females. The samples went through a pre-test, a 2-week speaking session and a post-test. For the speaking session, the experimental group used the project prepared and the control group followed their respective teacher's method of teaching. The scores obtained in the tests were analyzed using the SPSS program and then the results were described and discussed. At the end of the study, it was found that both groups showed an improvement in their content-wise oral performance which showed that both methods of teaching were effective. As for male and female performance, the males performed better than the females. This project can be a teaching guideline for teachers in teaching speaking skills. It also can be a friendly and interesting approach in learning speaking for the students.
