Abstract
The present study investigated the effectiveness of a
suggested computer-based program for developing some EFL oral
communication skills appropriate for a group of first year preparatory
school students (n = 39). A list of oral communication skills ( the listening
comprehension skills and the speaking skills)was identified. An oral
communication test ( the listening comprehension and the speaking) and a
suggested computer-based program of eight lessons were designed. The
program was applied in the second semester of the academic
year(2008/2009) and lasted for sixteen sessions for about one month and a
half. The post-test was applied on the study sample and the findings were
revealed. The findings indicated that the suggested program is effective in
developing these oral communication skills. The study concluded that
using computer-based programs is very helpful and effective in learning
EFL oral communication skills and that these programs are more effective
than the traditional teaching method. Recommendations included that there
should be more interest for using computer-based instruction to learn
different language skills in the classroom and the use of modern
technologies can be helpful in the educational process.
