    EFL teachers suffer in their classes because not all the students have the same desire and the same willingness to study English. Some of the learners, it imposed on them. That is to say, they have lack of motivation. The latter is considered as an important factor in the learning process. That is why; teachers are trying to find effective strategies and methods to be used in their classrooms in order to raise their students' motivation. The present dissertation sheds light on the issue of increasing students' motivation through the administration of rewards. More specifically, it is adopted to identify teachers' and students' attitudes towards the use of rewards in EFL classes. It also aims at identifying how this strategy affects the students' motivation. In order to confirm or reject our hypothesis, a questionnaire has been used as a data collection tool. Two questionnaires have been distributed: one for English teachers and the other for third year LMD students at the English department of Larbi Ben M'Hhidi University. While the students' questionnaire is made up of (40), the teachers' one is made up of (22). The analysis of the questionnaires results that both teachers and students are aware about the use of rewards in the EFL classes and its effect on students' motivation. That is why; we can affirm that our hypotheses become validated. Hence this study suggests a number of pedagogical implications for the teachers about the positive effect of rewards in the EFL classes.
