| Abstract: | This is an experimental study to determine the effectiveness
of the existing practice in contrast with controlled
and guided methods of teaching English writing to grade
eleven Ethiopian students. To conduct the experiment, four
sections of grade eleven students divided into two groups
i.e. control and experimental were organized.
'rodetermine whether there is a significant difference
between the control and experimental groups in their
English writing ability, a pre-test was given to both
groups before the commencement of the study. The result of
the pre-test clearly showed that there was no significant
difference between them.
After preparing two sets of teaching materials and
instructing each group for three and half-months, a posttest
was administered to both the control and experimental
groups. The result of the post-test clearly indicated
that the experimental groups showed a considerable
improvement over their pre-test results. The control
groups, on the other hand, showed little or practically
insignificant improvement.
Using the relevant statistical tools, a hypothesis test
was made based on the pre and post results. The result of
the hypothesis test strongly supports the adaptation of the
Alternate Hypothesis. In other words, introducing the
controlled and guided methods of teaching the writing skill
in the Ethiopian secondary schools could help to bring about
effective communication in English writing. |
