This empirical study examined the usability of monologue for improving oral expression in foreign language learning following the stance of Kató Lomb in her book: Polyglot, How I Learn Languages. Consequently, the study is a descriptive survey on the usage of monologues by university foreign language students who are currently undergoing a French language immersion program in an inter-university center. The essence was to ascertain whether they consider monologues as a useful strategy in developing oral expressive skills in French as a foreign language (FFL). The findings revealed that many of them depend on monologues for developing their oral expression. It was concluded that monologue should be expressly taught in the foreign language classroom as a strategy for developing oral expression skills.
