This study aimed at identifying the effect of using a language games-based electronic program on developing the oral expressions of people with learning difficulties in the English language during the emerging COVID-19 pandemic. The study used the experimental approach and implemented the program on a sample of 84 students divided into an experimental group (n = 42) and a control group (n = 42). The instruments of the study consisted of the training program and a test for the evaluation of oral expressive performance. The study found the existence of a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the acquisition of oral expression after receiving the training program in favor of the experimental group.
