Abstract
The current study aimed mainly to develop a scale for measuring basic communication skills of village extension workers at ~.R.E and to apply this scale after testing its validity in measuring basic communication skills of village extension workers in three districts at Dakahlia governorate.

Data were collected by using personal interview questionnaire during the period from September to November 2004. Frequencies, Percentages, Range, Arithmetic Mean, Standard Deviation, Variance, Coefficient of Variation, Skewness, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, t Test, Reliability and Validity Coefficients were used to analyze data statistically.
The main findings of this study indicated that:
1- The findings revealed that the scale of basic communication skills consists of 42 items having a high degree of reliability and validity.
2- The results of applying the developed scale on VEW's at Dakahlia governorate revealed that the interviewed VEW has a moderate level of basic communication skills, these skills are effective listening, effective speaking and effective writing.
