چکیده:

This study compared the effect of information gap and opinion gap tasks on introvert and extrovert EFL learners‟ speaking. Accordingly, 138 learners out of 180 intermediate learners were chosen through their scores on a sample Preliminary English Test (PET). These learners further responded to the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) which categorized them into introverts and extroverts. Altogether, four subgroups were established: 32 introverts and 37 extroverts undergoing the opinion gap task instruction and 33 introverts and 36 extroverts experiencing the information gap task treatment. All groups received 10 sessions of treatment and at the end sat for another sample PET speaking section as the posttest. A two-way ANOVA was run to respond to all the four questions showing that while extrovert learners benefited more from opinion gap tasks, introverts outperformed extroverts as a result of information gap tasks. The findings support the notion of using appropriate tasks for different personalities

With the hugely extensive literature on applying task-based teaching in class and also the multitude of studies conducted on extroversion/introversion and also inspired by an unpublished study conducted by Khodayi (2014) on the comparison of information gap and opinion gap tasks on the writing skill of extrovert learners and a study on using opinion gap tasks among field-dependent and field-independent learners (Marashi & Mehdizadeh, 2018), the researchers sought to compare the effect of these two tasks on the speaking skill of introvert and extrovert EFL learners. Accordingly, the following four research questions were formulated: Q1: Is there any significant difference between the effect of information gap and opinion gap tasks on introvert EFL learners’ speaking? Descriptive Statistics of the Scores of All Four Groups on the Posttest Std. N Minimum Maximum Mean Deviation Skewness Std. Statistic Statistic Statistic Statistic Statistic Statistic Responding to the Research Questions To respond to all the four questions of the study together, a two-way ANOVA was required since there is a dual learning modality (information gap versus opinion gap tasks) and also a dual personality style (introvert versus extrovert) involved with one dependent variable (i. Interaction of the Teaching and Personality Styles on the Posttest Based on the ANOVA table which reveals there are significant differences, the responses to all four research questions were as follows:  There is a significant difference between the effect of information gap and opinion gap tasks on introvert EFL learners’ speaking.
