Speaking skills are of great importance for both learners and educators. In the recent few years more attention is being given to improving the oral communication skills. In this research, the researcher aims to investigate how far the use of online video tours to the most famous touristic cities around the world help to improve the speaking skills of secondary school students. The proposed program included six speaking units; each lesson presented an authentic online tour video in a different city and its sights. The research design is quasi-experimental. The participants are secondary school students from an official language school in Egypt. The results of the post speaking test indicated a significant improvement in the speaking skills. The study showed that there were statistically significant differences between the pre-test and the post-test in the experimental group in favor of the post test. Consequently, it was concluded that the online tours program helped in fostering the secondary school students' speaking skills. (Published abstract)
