The current study aimed at developing EFL lexical competence of Al-Azhar University Students via a texture analysis-based program. The participants of the study consisted of sixty girls drawn from the first year Humanities Students, Foreign Languages and Simultaneous Interpretation College, AL-Azhar University. Following the quasi-experimental design, the girls were divided into two groups: a treatment group (n= 30) and a non-treatment group (n=30). In order to achieve the purpose of the study, the researcher designed the study instrument, an EFL lexical competence test, and validated it by the jury members. Then a program of twenty sessions grounded on texture analysis was designed and administered to the treatment group whereas the non-treatment group received their regular instruction. The EFL lexical competence test was pre- and post-administered to both the treatment and the non-treatment groups. Results of the study indicated that the treatment group outperformed the non-treatment group in their EFL lexical competence. Findings of the current study provided evidence that a texture analysis-based program had a positive effect on the EFL lexical competence of the treatment group. Finally, some recommendations and suggestions for further research were provided.
