Three sets of data were collected: pre-test, post-test and post-treatment self-efficacy data. These were analysed using One-Way ANOVA and descriptive statistics respectively. Results indicated significant improvements in English speaking skills. Mean scores rose from 2.543, 9.442, 9.915, 0.000 and 7.413 in pre-test to 1404.914, 885.219, 873.223, 1370.581 and 791.770 in post-test in terms of ESPS, ESSPS, EVPS, EGS and EFS, respectively. Further, subjects demonstrated higher degree of self-efficacy in English speaking skills after the treatment. It was concluded the improvements followed the series of multimodal trainings to which the learners were exposed involving linguistic and non-linguistic mode.
