The population of the current study is 228 students which represents all the students of the fourth preparatory class in AL Zaab City during the academic year 2023-2024. Two groups are chosen to serve as experimental and control groups. Each group consists of thirty students. The pilot study is made in order to find out the suitability of the test items. Both groups have been equalized in age, parents’ academic level and students' achievement in the previous year. The experimental group is taught according to Attribute Chart Strategy, whereas the traditional method has been adopted for the control group. The content of the teaching material is analyzed, then, an achievement pre-test and post-test have been constructed. The experimental and the control groups were taught for eight weeks. The researcher constructed an achievement test of six questions to assess the students' performance in the independent variable (speaking). The test items were presented to specialists to verify its validity, and to obtain its reliability. Then the data is statistically analyzed and the following results showed that: There are statistically significant differences in the mean scores of the experimental group and that of the control group in the post-test and there are statistically significant differences in the mean scores of the students' achievement of the experimental group and the pre-post tests. The study ends up with a number of conclusions, recommendations.
