Abstract
Drawing conclusions means using the information provided to make judgments. When students are asked to draw a conclusion about something they have read, they are asked to use information in text that is either explicitly stated or implied to make a judgment. This study aims to find the average level of the EFL 5th. year preparatory school students' achievement in drawing conclusion. It finds that there is any significant difference between the experimental group's achievement and the control group's achievement in the post-test. There is any significant difference between the students' achievement as males and females in the post-test. It hypothesized that there is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group in achievement post-test and the average theoretical mean scores. There is no statistically significant difference in experimental group's achievement in production and recognition levels in the post-test. Sixty two students from the fifth scientific grade have been randomly selected. Both groups are equalized in some important variables according to their age, education and their scores in the pretest. The results show that there is statistically significant difference between the experimental group's achievement and that of the control group for benefit of experimental group.
