Personality and gender on efl students’ spoken production
Resumen
This quantitative study aims to identify the correlation between gender (male and female) and personality (extrovert and introvert) in the spoken production of A2 level students of the English major at the Technical University of Cotopaxi in the April-July 2023 academic term. The Raymon's Big Five personality test (Cattell, 1943) was applied to students who got an A2 level on the placement test. Then, 40 students (10 extroverted and 10 introverted females and 10 extroverted and 10 introverted males) completed an oral activity, which was assessed with the criteria of Cambridge (2020) and Farhady et al. (1995) rubrics. The data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. A Pearson Correlation analysis was used to show the correlation of personality and gender with spoken production. The results of this research indicate that there is no correlation of variables under study. The study also showed that introverted students had better speaking skills than extroverted students by the smallest difference of (0,28 tenths). In terms of gender and spoken production, it was found that female students have better speaking skills than male students by the smallest difference of (0,10 tenths). In conclusion, it could be inferred that students of both types of personality and gender (sex) can develop speaking skills in different ways.
