Abstract
This study aimed to develop some speaking skills in large classes. In order to
achieve such an aim, the researcher developed a treatment based on some debate
strategies. To measure the impact of using debate-based strategy in improving
speaking skills, the researcher developed two speaking tests. Those tests were
administrated to the first secondary school stage EFL schoolers at Al-Salam
Secondary School in Ismailia (N=39) pre and post intervention. The intervention
was the Debate-Based Strategy (DBS). The results revealed that there was a
statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the pre and post–
speaking test of the study group in favor of the post test. It can be concluded that
the proposed strategy had a significant effect on developing the targeted speaking
skills among the participants. The study recommended that the debate-based
strategy should be included in EFL set courses at secondary stage in order to
prepare the learners for the university stage.
