dc.description.abstractAlthough speaking reflects how well a speaker masters the target language, many foreign language students at advanced levels have different difficulties in speaking. Hence, the research investigates teachers' and students' attitudes towards the effectiveness of classroom debate in enhancing students' oral performance. The hypothesis raised in this study sets out that teachers and students have positive attitudes towards the effectiveness of classroom debate in improving students' oral performance. The research method adopted for this study was descriptive since the data was gathered through two main questionnaires. Therefore, forty (40) questionnaires were administered to first year master students, as well as thirty (30) for English teachers at larbi Ben Mhidi University, Oum El Bouaghi. The results obtained have shown that classroom debate is an effective pedagogical tool for enhancing students' oral performance. Classroom debate motivates students to express themselves, use language orally in a given context, and think critically when discussing their ideas. Based on these results, the previous stated hypothesis was confirmed and some recommendations are put forward. Teachers should encourage students-centered classes through classroom debate. Students ought to overcome their difficulties through engaging in debate activities in order to develop their oral performance.ar
