<br/><br/> This study aimed at examining the effectiveness a proposed program based upon English for Specific Purpose (ESP) for developing communication skills among students in the applied institutes in Kuwait.The participants in this study comprised fifty third level nursing students, who were randomly selected from the applied linguistics in Kuwait in the school year 2020-2021. The study employed the quasiexperimental design in which two groups were selected- an experimental group (n=25) and a control one (n=25). Instruments of the study were composed of a needs analysis questionnaire of the communication skills, a pre-post communication skills test, and a scoring rubric. The results of the study indicated that the experimental group students scored significantly higher than those in the control group on the oral communication skills test, mainly those of content development, organization, language and grammar, and verbal and non verbal delivery. Consequently, task- based activities following the learning-centered approach proved effective to teaching oral communication skills for nursing students if properly implemented
