Abstract:
Classroom interaction is indeed an important concept in the process of learning a foreign
language. The present study aims to investigate the effect of classroom interaction in
enhancing the speaking skills of EFL learners among third-year undergraduate students at
Djilali Bounaama University. Because of the difficulties students face to develop this ability,
many researchers argue that classroom interaction is an important aspect that has to be taken
into account to promote real communication in the classroom in order to enable learners to
practice speaking and overcome their fears. The goal of the current thesis is to shed light on
the impact of classroom interaction on improving speaking skills. In this case, a questionnaire
is conducted to 50 students at the Department of English, to investigate their opinions on the
effect of classroom interaction in helping them improve their speaking proficiency. The
researchers hypothesize that if students are provided with more opportunities for interaction
in the classroom, their speaking skills will improve. Early results indicated the high need to
create a friendly atmosphere that encourages students to freely express themselves.
Moreover, to provide interesting interactive tasks to maximize interactive opportunities
