Abstract
The present dissertation aims at exploring the use of oral feedback in EFL classes in
private schools (Bridge Way World School of English and Modern Language School in Tizi
Ouzou) of advanced level. In more precise terms, the study investigates whether the teachers
of private schools use efficient oral feedback and show their learners how to use it, and
whether the learners make use of the feedback in their classroom activities. To reach the
outcomes we have relied on Brookhart’s (2008) theory about the strategies of feedback and
Frey’s and Fisher’s (2011) one about the characteristics of feedback. We have adopted a
mixed method approach to conduct our research. Two types of data collection tools are used:
teachers’ interview and learners’ questionnaire. The data analysis is based on statistical tools
using Scientific package for social sciences to clear up numerical data along with qualitative
content analysis (QCA) for the interpretation and the explanation of the results. According to
the results obtained, we have came to the results that oral feedback is a fruitful and a helpful
method which makes the task of learning much easier for the learners and plays an important
role in stimulating their development. More precisely, it has been unveiled that oral feedback
is a tool used by teachers to pave the right way to their learners to construct their knowledge.
The findings reached through this investigation will open more opportunities to go deeper in
this area of the study.
