A random sample of 60 college students majoring in English was selected randomly and divided into two groups: Experimental group (Ex.) 30, and Controlled group (Conc.) 30. Pre-and post- speaking tests were administrated to both groups. Moreover, 15 English language teachers are called on to be included in this inquiry. Furthermore, interviews were conducted to check the participants' attitude towards this teaching strategy. The findings of inspection revealed that (Ex.) outperformed (Cont.G) in the post-test achievement. Further, this examination uncovers that incorporating melded learning model comes up with superb results among ESL students.
