This study aimed to investigate the effect of using media in EFL classes on enhancing EFL university learners' oral fluency and global awareness. It adopted the one-group pre-experimental design, with a one-group pre-post interview along with a mixed research approach integrating both quantitative and qualitative assessment. A group of 30 Arabic native speakers, enrolled at The Arab Open University in Egypt, was randomly selected to participate in the study. Learners in this group were first-year students, aged between 18 and 20 years, at the pre-intermediate level (A2). The researcher prepared a list of oral fluency and global awareness components as a base for designing the study instruments. She also designed a rubric, a pre-post interview, and a participants' satisfaction questionnaire. Besides, the researcher designed a program for enhancing EFL university learners' oral fluency and global awareness. The study participants studied thirteen online-based sessions, including the pre-post interview. After conducting the pre and post interviews, the participants' scores were statistically analyzed using the t-test and the effect size factor. In addition, the scores and data were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results revealed that the program based on media was highly effective in developing EFL learners' oral fluency and global awareness. Consequently, media should be an integral part of English language lessons to enhance EFL university learners' oral fluency and global awareness and create an interactive learning environment.
