This study explored the effect of using cartoon videos on developing the oral fluency of Jordanian grade 4 EFL pupils. The participants included 42 pupils who were selected from two classes; a class of 20 pupils and a class of 22 pupils. The two classes made up the control group and the experimental group respectively. Furthermore, oral fluency pretest and posttest were designed, and the quantitative approach was used to assess the oral fluency of both groups. Significantly, the post-test results revealed differences between the scores of the control group and the experimental group, as the pupils in the experimental group had higher scores than the control group's pupils. Thus, videos had a positive effect on developing the experimental group's oral fluency. The study recommends the integration of cartoon videos-based instruction into the grade 4 EFL curriculum in Jordan.
