Using the Whole Brain Teaching Method to Develop 2nd Graders' EFL Listening Skills

The current research aims to investigate the effect of using the whole-brain teaching method on developing the 2nd-grade primary school pupils' EFL listening skills. For this purpose, the quasi-experimental research methodology was utilized. Sixty pupils from Taha Hussien Primary School, EL-Minia Governorate were randomly selected and divided into two groups: the treatment group (n=30) that was taught using the WBT program and the non-treatment group (n=30) that was taught by the regular teaching methods. For data collection, the listening skills test was administered to the research sample. Using suitable statistical methods such as mean, standard deviation, t-value, and size effect, findings indicated the effectiveness of the proposed program using the WBT. There were statistically significant differences between the means of the scores of the treatment and non-treatment groups in the post-application of the listening skills test in favor of the treatment group due to the utilization of the WBT program. Considering the research findings, the research concluded by presenting recommendations and further future research suggestions.
