The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of "Dogme" strategy on developing oral communication skills for English language teachers. Thirty two English language teachers were randomly chosen from four heterogeneous schools and formed the experiment group after being sure that they were equivalent. The experiment group teaches were trained in oral communication skills through the "Dogme" strategy. To achieve the aims of the study, the researchers designed an oral communication skills pre-post test to measure the participants' level of oral communication skills. It was administered to them before and after the experiment. The mean scores of the pre-post administrations of the test were treated statistically. The result of data analysis indicated that the experiment group progressed in the overall required oral communication skills and on each main skill. In the light of the findings of the study, the researchers recommended the use of "Dogme" strategy for developing oral communication skills for English language teachers. (Published abstract)
