Abstract

         The present study investigated how buzz group sessions affected EFL students' critical listening and oral communication apprehension. Moreover, the study investigated the relationship between critical listening and oral communication apprehension. Thirty-seven students at Jubail College of Education, IAU University participated in the study. They were pretested in critical listening and oral communication apprehension before and after the implementation of buzz group sessions. Using buzz groups lasted a whole semester once a week. Statistical analysis using paired-samples t-test showed a significant reduction in participants' oral communication apprehension while their critical listening did not significantly improve. Moreover, a positive correlation was found between critical listening and oral communication apprehension. Therefore, it was concluded that the buzz group technique can be used to reduce the oral communication apprehension of EFL students.
