One of the methods can be imagery skill. Due to the importance of this strategy, the current study was an attempt to explore the effect of imagery skill on the writing skill of young EFL learners at the elementary level. Furthermore, the study attempted to explore the existence of any difference between male and female EFL young learners writing skill. For the purpose of this study, two elementary classes from two branches of a private language institute in Tehran, Iran, comprised of 60 male and female young learners , were selected. Their ages ranged between 8- 11. The results of the treatment and data analysis indicated that the differences between imagery skill and the traditional method of writing was statistically significant. In fact, the learners at the imagery skill group outperformed the control group in terms of the writing skill. On the other hand, the findings revealed that the difference was not statistically significant between male and female learners after treatment.
