Abstract
The aim of this study was in the natural environment to examine the situation class voice quality of high school students after the application of social forms of group work and methods of the research interview. The voice quality or oral expression of students recorded the audio recording after the application of the two forms of work. Audio recordings are then transcribed to measure the following variables: 1) the length of the spoken sentences (long - short); 2) sentence structure (firmer and more transparent - poorly organized); 3) received an oral expression of thought (complete - incomplete with unnecessary accumulation of words); 4) the sentence intonation (recognizable - inadequate); 5) grammatical links between words (accurate and solid - inaccurate and loose). The research results show that: 1) the length of the spoken sentences not exceed or after research students to verbally express short sentences; 2) the sentence structure is stronger and more transparent; 3) imposed a more complete thought without unnecessary accumulations of words; 4) the sentence intonation is more recognizable (students raise awareness that the sentence conveys complete information); 5) grammatical links between words are stronger. The conclusion is that the quality of speech students improved after the application of social
forms of group work and research methods in conversation classes
