    The research is an attempt to investigate experimentally the effect of vocabulary and dictation ESP programme on Iraqi students’ achievement at College of Physical Education for Women. The learners have to know what a word means and what it look like.  These are obvious aspects in teaching foreign language and teachers need to make sure that both these aspects are accurately learned.     The sample of the present research is (46) students of first year stage, College of Physical Education for Women, University of Baghdad. At the academic year 2012- 2013.      It is hypothesized that there are no significant differences between the experimental group taught ESP by vocabulary and dictation programme (Sadiq ,2012) and control group taught ESP with traditional English Course (Sadiq, 2010)  in pre and post tests.      To fulfill the aim of the research an experiments has been designed with two groups of students chosen randomly.  Both groups were matched in the subjects’ achievement in English for previous academic year (2011-2012).  Both groups have tested in pre and post tests. The experiment lasted nine weeks.     After analyzing the results statistically, it has been found that there are significant differences between the two groups in pre- test as well as post test. This indicates that using the vocabulary and dictation programme is more effective in teaching these two skills. Accordingly, the null hypotheses have been rejected.     Finally, English teachers at College of Physical Education are recommended to use the programme to improve the students’ achievement in vocabulary and dictation skills.
