Abstract
The aim of the current study has been to explore the effect of using the reciprocal teaching strategy on developing EFL Secondary School second graders’ oral proficiency. The study used the quasi- experimental research design. Sixty second year secondary students enrolled in Al-Qawmya Secondary School, 6 October City, Egypt, participated in the study that lasted for six weeks. They were divided into a treatment group of thirty students, and a control group of thirty students. Instruments of the study included a training program using the reciprocal teaching strategy, a pre-post test in speaking skills, by the researcher and SOLOM (Student Oral Language Observation Matrix) scale for scoring the speaking test. Results of the study revealed that the students in the experimental group outperformed those in the control group on the post speaking test. Findings of the study indicated that using a reciprocal teaching strategy had positive effects on the students’ speaking skills. In light of the findings of the study, recommendations and suggestions for further researchwere offered.
