This research was carried out with a quantitative approach with a non-experimental research design and a correlational research level. A personality test was applied to identify introverted and extroverted personalities. This test was developed by Raymon (1943). The population of this study was 14 students which developed a speaking activity entitled "a trip they had", which was assessed by using a Cambridge rubric (2020). Also, the criteria of fluency described in a rubric developed by Farhady et al. (1995) was added to the rubric instead of the dimension of interactive communication. Data were analyzed with the Statical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program. The findings of this research indicated that there is a weak positive correlation (0.174) between personality and speaking. Moreover, it showed that introverted students have better speaking skills than extroverted students by the slightest difference with a significance in the sub-skill of pronunciation which was (0.2 tenths). On the other hand, regarding gender and speaking, the results showed that there is a weak positive correlation (0.192), similarly, it was demonstrated that women students have better speaking skills than men students by the slightest difference (0.30 tenths) |
