This study aimed to find out the risk taking nature of Somali and non-Somali students in theirrnoral production (a comparative study). Therefore, an attempt was made to find out whether therernwas a risk-taking difference between them and the main cause of their current level of risk-takingrndifference. The subjects of the study were six Somali and six non-Somali students at Jijigarnpreparatory school.rnIndividual, pair and group speaking tasks were designed and administered to know whether orrnnot there is a risk-taking difference between them. Video and audio recordings were also used forrnadditional information. Besides, a 16 item questionnaire and an interview with seven questionsrnwere used to know the main cause of their level of risk-taking difference.rnThe results of the findings show that there is a risk-taking difference between Somali and non Somalirnstudents. The Somalis were found to be higher risk-takers than the non-Somalis. Therncause of their risk-taking difference is attributable to be their family and cultural backgrounds.rnFinally, based on the findings, recommendations were given.
