Abstract ”The purpose of this study was to develop primary stage pupils’ EFL speaking skills and reduce their communication apprehension through using a mobile augmented reality applications (MAR) treatment proposed by the researcher. To fulfill the aim of the study, the following instruments were constructed; a Speaking Skills Checklist, a Speaking Skills Test with a Scoring Rubric and a Communication Apprehension Scale.The study adopted the quasi_experimental design using a pre_post two independent group design. The study results revealed that the proposed augmented reality applications (MAR) treatment had a positive effect on developing primary primary pupils’ EFL speaking skills and reducing their communication apprehension. Finally, it was recommended that this MAR applications treatment should be integrated in a ””Speaking Course”” that learners may study or participate in and it should receive more attention from curriculum designers.
