Abstract
   The current study aimed at using a webinar based program to develop EFL research skills among students of higher institutes of languages. The study's participants were chosen at random (N=40) from second-year students at Ministry of Higher Education, Madina Higher Institute of International Languages, English Department. The researcher prepared a research skill checklist, a rubric and a webinar-based program.  After the study instruments were pre-administered, a webinar-based program was used to instruct the experimental group. At the conclusion of the treatment, the same tools were used again.  The findings demonstrated that the program was successful in fostering the research skills of second-year EFL students.  Conclusions, recommendations and suggestions for further research were provided at the end of the study.
