The study aims to identify the extent of the impact of the one-to-one strategy on developing speaking skills from the students point of view. To achieve the study’s objectives and answer its questions, the researcher applied the quasi-experimental approach. The study population consisted of intermediate-level students at the Sultan Qaboos Institute for Teaching Arabic to Non-Native Speakers, whose number reached (70 ) male and female students during the academic year (2024-2025) and the researcher chose the sample using the intentional method and the researcher determined the experimental group using the random method, and their number (30) male and female students, and they studied using the one-to-one strategy. Then the control group was determined, and their number was (30) Male and female students, who studied in the traditional way. In response to the first question, the statistical results related to the participants’ attitudes towards using the “One with One” strategy indicate a strong positive tendency towards adopting this strategy, as an educational strategy that helps in developing speaking skills. In response to the second question, the results of the study revealed the existence of statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) in developing speaking skills as the difference in the average between the two groups, amounting to (10.90) , indicated a significant superiority in favor of the experimental group, which applied the One with One strategy compared to the control group that applied the traditional method.
