Samenvatting:

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics - Reading, University of Education (University of Education, Winneba), course: Early Childhood Education, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this study was to identify the causes of poor speaking skills among pupils and to suggest developmentally appropriate language activities that can help improve upon their listening and speaking skills. The study involved 47 pupils. After taking pupils through the implementation of the interventions in accordance with the research objectives, I realized that, there was tremendous change in the performance of pupils when discussion, storytelling and dramatization were used as intervention strategies.Pupils' participation and interest in oral communication improved overwhelmingly within the duration of the interventions. In view of this, it was recommended that in as much as possible, teachers should use developmentally appropriate language activities in teaching children listening and speaking in the targeted language.The researcher also recommended that the ministry of education and all stake holders should try as much as possible to equip the Early Childhood Care and Development centers with adequate and appropriate teaching and learning materials to enhance the speaking skills of children.
