Exploring the impact of teachers’ oral negative feedback of language mistakes on EFL learners’ oral expression : the case study of the second year LMD students of english at the university of Bejaia

Abstract

The present study deals with two variables: the Negative Feedback (NF) and Oral Expression (OE). We hypothesized that EFL students will be able to improve their oral expression if their teachers know when and how to provide the negative feedback. Hence, the aim of our study is to explore the impact of teachers’ NF on EFL learners’ OE in order to demonstrate to the EFL instructors its influence on the students’ oral performance. Therefore, helping these teachers through showing when and how they should deliver the NF in order to make their learners benefit from it and improve their oral performance.
