The current study aimed at developing English speaking skills for third year English major students at faculty of education, Beni-Suef University through using a program based on SCAMPER strategy. The pre-post control group design was used in the current study. The study participants consisted of (60) third year English major students at faculty of education, Beni-Suef University. Then they were divided into the control (n=30) and the experimental group (n=30). The students of the experimental group received English speaking instruction through a program based on SCAMPER strategy which was designed by the researcher for the purpose of the study, while the students of the control group received regular instruction. The instruments of the study include: speaking skills checklist and a pre/post speaking test. The result showed that there was a statistically significant difference at the level of 0.01 between the mean scores of the control and the experimental group in overall speaking skills as well as in each speaking skill which means that the program based on SCAMPER strategy used in the current study is effective in developing third year English major students at faculty of education English speaking skills.
