This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using Web 3.0 tools for developing secondary stage students' EFL productive skills. Forty students from Future Language Schools, East Tanta Educational administration were selected as participants of the study. The study adopted the quasi- experimental design as the forty participants were divided into two groups. The experimental group was taught via using Web 3.0 tools (3D virtual classroom) while the control group was taught following the conventional instruction prescribed by the ministry of education in Egypt. The tools of the study included an EFL speaking skills test (pre & post), an EFL writing skills test (pre and post) and rubrics for scoring both speaking and writing tests. Analysis of the results revealed that the experimental group participants achieved a significantly higher level in their EFL productive skills than those of the control group. In the light of these results, it was concluded that Web 3.0 tools were effective to develop the second-year secondary students' EFL productive skills. (Published abstract)
