As another focus of the present research, oral language is about communicating with other people and involves a process of utilizing thinking, knowledge and skills in order to speak and listen effectively. As such, it is central to the lives of all people. The development of oral language is given an importance as great as that of reading and writing, at every level, in the curriculum. It has an equal weighting with them in the integrated language process. Although the Curriculum places a strong emphasis on oral language, it has been widely acknowledged that the implementation of the Oral Language strand has proved challenging.Through a deep consideration of the previous studies, the present descriptive research leads us to the conclusion that the use of oral narration can affect the students’ listening and speaking abilities. It can be applied utilizing some strategies to improve the students’ oral skills as well as to assess their oral abilities. Key words: oral narration, listening, speaking
