Abstract

The study aims at identifying the effects of using team teaching method on the level of the rhetorical performance of the first grade high school female students. The study was conducted in Riyadh on a sample of first grade high school female students (n 44) that was divided in to two groups: an experimental group (n 22) that was taught by a team of female teachers and a controlled one (n 22) that was taught using the traditional method. The study used a test prepared for measuring the rhetorical performance of the participants, and pre- and post-research instruments. The results of the study revealed statistically significant differences between the two groups in favor of the experimental one reflecting the efficacy of the team teaching method. In view of the findings of the study, some suggestions and recommendations were proposed for future research.
