Abstract

The current research aimed at exploring the effect of using a suggested ESP program on developing negotiation skills of Al-dawah department students at faculty of Theology, Al-Azhar University. The research used a quasi-experimental design. Thirty fourth-year Al-dawah department students participated in the research for six weeks. The study instruments included a checklist for negotiation skills, a pre-post negotiation skills test, and a pre-post observation checklist for assessing the students' measurement on the negotiation skills (prepared by the researcher). Results of the research revealed that the students' scores on the post negotiation skills test were better than the pre-test. Additionally, the results showed that the students' post-measurement on the observation checklist was better than the pre one. The findings of the study indicated that using the suggested ESP program had positive effects on developing the participants' negotiation skills. In light of the findings of the research, recommendations and suggestions for further research were offered.
