The study design was a mixed research methodology. It combined both quantitative and qualitative methods of collecting data. The participants of the study were fifty (N= 50) students enrolled in fourth year English section at Faculty of Education, Benha University, Egypt. They were tested before and after the treatment. They were taught through using a multidimensional engagement instructional approach based on communication technology devices. The instruments of the study included an EFL oral communication skills test, an EFL oral communication skills rubric, a self- efficacy scale, and a semi-structured interview. The results revealed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the study participants in the pre and post administrations of EFL oral communication skills test and self- efficacy scale in favor of the post administration. These results were ascribed to the multidimensional engagement instructional approach based on communication technology devices
