Oralcommunication is the commonest and most important mean ofproviding communication among human beings.

For this purpose, two groupswere randomly chosen, a group as a control one and the other is anexperimental group. Students of the experimental group weretrained on the proposed program.To test the program's effectiveness, pre and post tests wereadministered on both groups. Results showed that the performanceof the experimental group students was better than the controlgroup due to the effect of the proposed program. Results alsoindicated that developing communicative performance helpeddeveloping the general language proficiency of the experimentalgroup students. The study recommended TBL as a course design approachto be implemented in designing English for university studentscourses. Interest should also be paid for the pre-course designstages.
