Abstract

Speaking is an interactive process of constructing or creating meaning that involves producing and receiving and processing information. This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of game-based activities in improving the level of confidence of students in speaking in English using colloquial words. The One-Group Pretest-Posttest-Only Design Quasi-Experimental through Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze the pretest and post-test results. Data revealed that the student’s level of confidence was improved after employing the game-based activities in learning the English language as indicated by the statistical test results. Knowing the effectiveness of game-based activities, teachers may use this in strengthening the speaking confidence of the students, while doing casual conversations, and engaging them in interactive learning. Thus, game-based activities are imperative in improving the speaking confidence of the students in using the English language. This is necessary in guiding and helping the teachers in addressing the growing concern about the English proficiency of the students particularly in speaking the language.
