The ultimate objective of the present research was to investigate the effect of using role play VS. songs on developing some EFL speaking skills of first year preparatory stage pupils. The sample consisted of ninety pupils; they were selected randomly and divided into three groups with thirty pupils in each: a control group, a role play group and songs group. A pre/ post speaking skills test was developed by the researcher and was used as the study instrument. The study adopted the pre- post control group design. The three groups were pre tested using the assessment tool of the study. Then, the control group was taught using the procedures in the teacher's guide prescribed by the Ministry of Education while the experimental groups were taught using role play and songs. The three groups were post tested using the same assessment tool. The results of the study revealed a significant difference between the mean scores of the control group and the mean scores of the two experimental groups on the post test in favour of the experimental groups. The differences were due to the teaching of the proposed program. On the basis of the study findings, it can be concluded that using role play and songs was effective in developing some EFL speaking skills of first year preparatory stage pupils. In terms of the study findings, appropriate recommendations and implications have been addressed.
