The study aimed to measure the level of perceived self-efficacy among middle school female students in Unaizah City and their oral expression skills.

As well as to reveal the relationship between the perceived self-efficacy and the oral expression skills.

In addition to find out if there are statistically significant differences in the level of perceived self-efficacy and oral expression skills due to grade among the female students of first, second, and third middle grades.

To achieve this aim, the researchers used the relational descriptive approach due to its suitability of the nature of the research problem, and two research tools were used.

The first tool was a scale to measure the level of perceived self-efficacy, while the second tool was an observation card to measure the oral expression skills.

The scale was applied on a sample of (347) selected in a simple random way from the (public / daily) middle school female students in the first semester of the year 1442 Hijri in Unaizah City.

The observation card was applied on a sample of (30) female students, which also was selected in a simple random way.

Additionally, the aim measured oral expression skills in order to reveal the relationship between oral expression skills and perceived self-efficacy, and find out if there are statistically significant differences due to the "grade" variable.

The results of the research showed that : - The study participants from middle school female students responded to "the level of perceived self-efficacy" with "somewhat agreed".

- The researchers' observation of the study participants from middle school female students through the "Dimensions of Expression Skills" was (somewhat available).

- There is a positive statistically significant relationship between perceived self-efficacy and the dimensions of oral expression skills as a whole for the sample from middle school female students.

There are statistically significant differences in the level of perceived self-efficacy and oral expression skills of middle school students.

In light of the previous results, the researchers recommended the following: 1- Training female students on skills necessary for speaking in large group situations through extra-curricular activities that require meeting the public.

2- The need to enhance the students' psychological and personal aspects that help in treating the lack of verbal skills.

3- Finding different speaking situations to master the skills of oral expression through literary arts such as speeches, dialogue, and representing stories.
