The results indicated that teaching strategies supporting motivation, curriculum and course material directly affect students' motivation and communicative competence. It also recommended few measures to counter the problems to enhance students' communication competence (L2).The second part of this book aims to explain the effects of Saudi students' productive skills on their teaching and learning process. The study is both theoretical and practical in nature covering both quantitative and qualitative aspects in totality.
