Abstract :
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of conversational style education through
multimedia on increasing communication skills of female students. The research method was
quasi-experimental and the statistical population included female students in sixth grade of
District 2 of school system in Tehran(Iran), of whom 60 were selected by cluster sampling and
placed in two groups of control and experiment. Data collection tools included Attar's standard
communication skills questionnaire (2007) whose face validity was confirmed by eleven teachers
using Delphi technique and its reliability through Cronbach's alpha coefficient for subscales,
emotion management, others perception and assertiveness. It was equal to 0.92, 0.89 and 0.88,
respectively. Research data were analyzed using SPSS.22 software. The results showed that there
was a significant difference between the mean scores of the control and experimental groups
regarding students' communication skills at the level of 95%. Students' communication skills in
conversational style through multimedia were better than students trained in the traditional way.
The results of this study indicate the positive role of interactive teaching through multimedia in
increasing the communication skills of primary school students, and this emphasizes that schools
and educational institutions need more multimedia tools to deepen Learn and enhance learners'
communication skills.
