Speaking is so much part of human daily life activities, but learning speaking (whether in a first or other language) involves developing detailed knowledge about why, how and when to communicate and other skills for producing and managing interaction. Such skills are called conversational skills. They are defined as language abilities needed to interact in social situations. Thus, the study aims to assess the outcomes of EFL learning conversational skills that are obtained throughout conversation courses at college level for Iraqi EFL undergraduates. The study determined the following conversational skills for the assessment. They are: 1- The skill or ability to recognize the situations in which certain linguistic forms are used. 2- The ability to use appropriate linguistic forms to satisfy certain functions in different situations. 3- The ability to express oneself appropriately at a given situation. 4- The ability to develop a dialogue using various linguistic forms in a prescribed situation
