The present study investigated the effect of a program based on Tokkatsu approach for developing some English communication skills of primary stage pupils at the Egyptian Japanese Schools.  Following the one-group quasi-experimental design, the study applied the program over (37) pupils who were chosen at the EJS schools in Hurghada. They selected, taught and assessed using the procedures of the quasi-experimental design with its pre and post testing procedure. The researcher designed and implemented four instruments and materials: (a) An English communication skills checklist, (b) Tokkatsu-based program, (c) English communication skills test, (d) Speaking rubric.  Analyzing the results obtained from the English communication skills test showed that there were statistically significant mean differences between the scores of the participants in their listening skills, speaking skills and their overall English communication skills core. The study recommends using the Tokkatsu approach as a holistic approach for developing other language skills such as reading and writing.
