The research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a program based on using Synchronous Computer Mediated Communication in enhancing EFL student teachers’ speaking skills. The sample of the study consisted of (24) third-year preparatory students at Narmar Language School. Instruments of the study were speaking skills checklist, speaking scoring rubric, pre and post speaking test, and a program based on Synchronous Computer Mediated Communication (SCMC). In this study, the pre and post-test was used for the two experimental and control groups. The results of the study revealed that the experimental group post-test scores in speaking were significantly better than their pre-test. The study group’s gains in these productive skills and the enhancement in their motivation towards speaking are attributed to using the Synchronous Computer Mediated communication (SCMC)-based program designed and implemented by the researcher.
