The instruments of the study included a conversational skills test (pre &post), and a rubric for scoring conversational skills test. Analysis of the results revealed that the treatment group participants achieved a significantly higher level in their EFL conversational skills than those of the non-treatment group. In the light of these results, it was concluded that Gricean maxims theory program was effective in enhancing the EFL student-teachers' conversational skills.
