The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of
readers theater in developing speaking skills of EFL secondary school
students and reducing their speaking anxiety. The sample of the study
consisted of fifty-five first year secondary school at El- Lozy Secondary
School for girls in Damietta Governorate. The two group quasiexperimental design, based on pre-post, non- equivalent control group
design was used. The instruments of the study included a speaking skills
test, a speaking skills rubric, and a speaking anxiety scale. The results of
the study revealed that readers theater significantly developed overall
speaking skills of EFL secondary school students and reduced their
speaking anxiety. On the other hand, there were no statistically
significant differences concerning speaking sub skills: content, accuracy,
and pronunciation.
