The participants were thirty five first-year preparatory school students, composing one experimental group. The instruments for data collection were an EFL oral reading fluency test, a questionnaire of attitudes towards learning English as a foreign language. An educational broadcasting based program was designed by the researcher. The experimentation was conducted in the second term of the academic year (2018/2019) and lasted for nine weeks, one session a week. By the end of the experimentation, the test of the oral reading fluency skills and the questionnaire of the attitudes towards learning English as a foreign language were administered to the one experimental group. The test and questionnaire scores were compared and analyzed. The findings revealed that there is a difference in oral reading fluency skills improvement for the post administration of the EFL oral reading fluency test. There was also an evident and positive change in the attitudes of the experimental group members towards English as a foreign language.
