Sixty EFL student-teachers from Faculty of Education, Minia University were selected as participants of the study.

The treatment group was taught using Gricean maxims theory program while the non-treatment group was taught following the conventional instruction. The instruments of the study included a conversational skills test (pre &post), and a rubric for scoring conversational skills test.
