The sample of the study included an experimental group (25) and a control one (25). The researcher used a needs analysis questionnaire to identify the most required oral communication skills in the tourism field. In addition, an oral communication skills inventory and a prepost oral communication test were prepared and used to measure the students’ oral communication performance before and after administering the ETP program. The proposed ETP program was administered for 10 weeks to the experimental group, whereas the control group studied the commercial English curriculum. Findings of the study revealed that the mean scores of the experimental group were higher than the mean scores of the control group in the posttest. Findings also indicated the positive effect of the ETP program and the development of the selected oral communication skills.
