Abstract :
Manipulative Drill (MD) is an alternative technique in the teaching of Oral English as opposed to Word-Association Drill (WAD). MD provides practical procedures that boost learners’ communicative competence unlike WAD that depends on the teacher as a model. Two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. A quasi experimental study carried out at the Enugu State College of Education Technical, Enugu State. All the 75 year one students of Language Studies Department were used as the population. Oral English Achievement Test (OEAT) was the instrument for data collection which was validated by three experts. The OEAT was trial tested and it yielded a reliability index of 0.74 on the Kuder Richardson (K-R20) statistics. The research questions were answered using mean scores. Hypotheses were tested using the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at the 0.05 level of significance. All the null hypotheses were rejected. One of the major findings of the study is that the Manipulative Drill (MD) technique had a statistically significant effect on students’ achievement in oral English(X 37.57 5(X 37.57 5.45). Teacher trainees taught Oral English using MD had higher mean achievement score than those taught with WAD.
