EFL Learners Speaking

The current study was an attempt to systematically compare the effect of "Conferencing” and “Self-Assessment” (SA) on the speaking of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners.
To fullfill this objective, a group of 90 female EFL learners, within the age range of 17 to 19 years old (Mage = 18), attending English classes at Kish language School took a piloted sample of PET as a proficiency test, 60 of them were selected as a homogeneous learners and were divided into two experimental groups of Conferencing and SA. In the next step a speaking section of PET was administered as a pre-test to both groups. All classes of the two groups were instructed by the same teacher (the researcher) using the same material.
