Abstract
The present study is concerned with investigating students’ classroom participation. It aims at identifying the different strategies that are used by learners when participating in EFL classes and at evaluating them in terms of their effectiveness. It seeks also to highlight the different forms of classroom participation in the two secondary schools AIT BATA and LAADLANI AMAR (Tizi-Ouzou). Both questionnaire and interview are used as data collection tools. The questionnaire was distributed to seventy-four (74) third year students of the two secondary schools and the interview was conducted with their teachers of English. To this end, our investigation is based on a mixed method research combining both qualitative and a quantitative data analysis. The quantitative data are interpreted using The Rule of Three and Microsoft Office Excel. However, the qualitative ones are analyzed using the Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA). On the basis of the outcomes of the research, it is deduced that most of the students of the secondary schools AIT BATA and LAADLANI AMAR of Tizi-Ouzou use a variety of strategies when interacting in classroom discussion. Moreover, the majority of pupils argued that these strategies are effective when they participate in EFL classes. Besides, the study brings to the conclusion that classroom participation takes different forms in two secondary schools. This study is conducted under the light of Liu (2001) who suggested a variety of strategies used by learners while responding in EFL classes as well as certain forms of classroom participation.
