The sample of the study consisted of (70) male and female pupils (Grade 2 pupils, Tariq Bn Zeyad Elementary School, Minia Governorate) volunteered and was committed to participate in this study, they were randomly assigned into two groups ( 35 students each). The experimental group was taught using SAVI Model and the control group was taught in the traditional method. In addition, the participants took a pretest and a posttest specifically designed for the purpose of the study. The program was conducted in the first semester of the academic year 2021/2022. The validity of the program was refereed by specialists. The reliability of the tools was measured by Pearson Formula. The results of the test were statistically analyzed by t-test to measure the significance of difference between the pre and-post test results. Cohen Formula was used to measure the effect size of the suggested program. Results showed that participants 'EFL performance on the post administration of the test was significantly higher than their pre one. The results revealed that SAVI Model was effective in improving the participants' EFL performance. Some pedagogical implications, recommendations, and suggestions were presented.
