The Impact of Strategic Planning on EFL Pupils’ Achievement

Abstract

The study aims at investigating the effect of using strategic planning on developing EFL Preparatory school pupils’ writing skills. This study hypothesized that there is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group which was taught strategic planning and the control group taught conventional strategy in the post-writing test, and there is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group who is taught by strategic planning and the control group who is taught by conventional strategy in the post writing test. The sample of this study consists of (60) pupils who have been chosen from the Fourth scientific grade (biological branch) at Al-Bayan Preparatory School for Girls. (30) pupils have been chosen to be the experimental group, and (30) pupils have been chosen to be the control group in the academic year (2021 -2022). Both groups have been equalized in such variables as the educational level of parents, English scores in the previous schooling year, and the pre-test of both groups. The data collected from the results of the post-test have been analyzed statistically by using the T-test of two independent samples and paired samples formula. The results explain that there is a statistically significant difference in the mean scores of the experimental group which is taught according to strategic planning and the control group which is taught by using the conventional method. Based on the obtained results and conclusions in this study, suitable suggestions for further studies are put forward.
