| dc.description.abstract | The core of our research is the investigation of one of the main technique in teaching EFL which is the use of humor in the classroom. The aim of this research study is to identify the students’ attitudes towards learning through humor and its role in developing the students’ motivation in the classroom when learning English as a Foreign Language. The study is conducted at Mouloud Mammeri University of Tizi Ouzou using Cornett’s and Martin’s theories on humor in the classroom. This study, in fact, is based on mixed method research. It combines quantitative and qualitative methods. Therefore, two different research instruments are taken into account. First, the questionnaire is addressed to first year master students at the Department of English to obtain insights about the use of humor by their teachers in the classroom, their attitudes and preferences towards it. Second, the classroom observation is used to check the usefulness of using humor as a teaching technique to better know about its role in the classroom. The conclusion to be drawn from this study is that humor can help students in their learning process when it is used appropriately by their teachers, as it can be used in the classroom to facilitate learning by increasing motivation. So, by using this teaching tool in the classroom, students will be interested in their lessons. | en |
