The study examines the effect of the use of weblogs on developing academic reading skills of pre-master students. The sample of the study consisted of one hundred and forty (n=140) pre-Master students enrolled in the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course, Faculty of Graduate Studies for Education, Cairo University. The study used the quasi-experimental design. Hence, the sample of the study (n=140) has been assigned to a control group (n=70) and an experimental group (n= 70). Both groups were taught by the researcher simultaneously for a period of three successive months, i.e. a semester. For the purpose of data collection, a pre-post academic reading test was designed and administered to both groups before and after the treatment. Results of the study provided an evidence on the positive effect of using the weblog on developing academic reading skills of pre-master students enrolled in the EAP course (n2= .987). Students' progress can be mainly attributed to the well-established elearning community provoked by the weblog. The study was limited to the use of one type of weblogs; namely tutor. More research is needed to investigate the implementation of other weblogs types in other EAP contexts.

For non-native speakers, it is challenging to make communication easier. This study shows that the improvement of oral English ability has become the most challenging task for non-native speakers. Therefore, this paper aims at the influence of reading on oral English learning and will introduce the trouble and solutions of oral English learning for English learners in detail, and how reading affects speaking in various aspects. This paper showed that the correlation between English reading and speaking are close, and each promotes each other. English learners can improve their speaking skills by various reading materials, which can cultivate the cross-cultural consciousness and knowledge reserve. At the same time, teachers are supposed to create an oral environment. For example, teachers can ask some reference questions from the reading materials, which can not only improve the reading skills but also the communication skills. On the basis of education conception change, teachers should attach importance to oral English teaching.
