The researcher used the descriptive analytical method, following the method of content analysis in his analysis of these books, and prepared an analysis list to find out the extent to which language skills (listening, speaking, writing, and reading) are included in the English language books for the primary stage in the Republic of Yemen and the English language books for the intermediate stage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. After verifying the validity and reliability of the analysis list, the study reached the most important results:1.

There are statistically significant differences between the skills included in the English language books for the basic stage in Yemen and what is included in the English language books for the intermediate stage in Saudi Arabia, where the differences were in favor of the English language books for the intermediate stage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.3. There is a positive statistically significant correlation at the level (0.001) between the language skills in the English language books in the two countries.4. There are statistically significant differences between the skills, due to the variable of the type of skill, and they were in favor of the skills of reading and writing as basic skills in both countries.
