The Effectiveness of Drill Techniques in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Learning: Impact on Pronunciation and Speaking Fluency
Keywords:
Drill Techniques, EFL, Pronunciation
Abstract
This study examines the effectiveness of drill techniques in improving pronunciation and fluency among learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), who often face challenges in speaking fluency and pronunciation accuracy. The study aims to evaluate whether repetitive practice (drill) can significantly address these issues. An experimental method with a pre-test and post-test design was applied to two groups: an experimental group employing drill techniques and a control group without drills. Results showed that the experimental group achieved greater improvements in pronunciation and fluency compared to the control group, demonstrating the effectiveness of drill techniques in EFL instruction. Based on these findings, it is recommended that drill techniques be integrated with interactive teaching methods for more optimal and comprehensive outcomes. Future research should include long-term evaluations and explore the integration of drills with communicative approaches for sustainable language development.
