The Impact of Using the Brainstorming Method on the Listening Skills of Tenth Grade Students

Abstract

This study explored the impact using the brainstorming method on the listening skills of tenth grade students. To meet the study’s goals, the researchers adopted the experimental approach. They developed an instrument (i.e. listening skills test). This test consists from twenty (20) multiple choice items. The sample consists from 143 female and male 10th grade students. Those students were chosen from Marka, Amman.  The researchers chose the sample through using the cluster random method.  The data were collected during the first semester of the academic year (2023 / 2024). The sampled students were chosen from four sections. Two sections serve as the experimental group and two sections serve as the control group. It was found that there are significant differences between the experimental and control groups in terms of the mean score on the post-test. It was found that there are significant differences between the scores of the respondents which can be attributed to gender for the favor of males. Based on the results, the researchers recommend using the brainstorming method in curricula and the teachers’ guidebook. They recommend conducting further studies to identify the impact of the brainstorming method on other language skills and other students.
