Abstract
ABSTRACT The current study deals with some obstacles affecting EFL learner’s participation in the classroom at the English Department University of Khenchela. Through this research, we hypothesize that students do not participate in the classroom, due to psychological factors (anxiety, fear, shyness, self-Confidence), and linguistic factors; for example, lack of vocabulary, grammatical mistakes, and also due to bad attitudes towards the topic and the lack of motivation. To confirm this hypothesis, we investigated the case study of third year Students and English teachers of The Department of English, University of Khenchela. From the other hand we offer some solutions to reduce those obstacles and some techniques that teachers of foreign language apply in order to facilitate the learning process. Therefore, the practical part deals with the methodology adopted to conduct the research in which we analyze the questionnaires that are administered to both students and teachers in English department at University of Khenchela. The data obtained from the two questionnaires indicate that there are some factors affect the student’s participation during the session. Furthermore, the data suggests some techniques and strategies that EFL students need to work with to get rid of those obstacles.
