Abstract
The process of teaching English as a Foreign Language is too important and it focuses,
especially, on the interactive. One of the main four skills which learners need to develop
and improve is speaking skill. This study aims at investigating teachers' and learners
attitudes towards the role of group work technique in enhancing students' oral performance
to first year LMD students of English as a foreign language at the department of English,
University of Oum El Bouaghi. We hypothesized that teachers and students have a positive
attitudes towards group work technique in enhancing students' oral performance. The
present study attempts to find an attachment between two variables group work as teaching
technique and its role in enhancing students' oral performance. The descriptive method has
been adopted through the use of two questionnaires: one for students and another for
teachers who have taught English Language at the department of English, Larbi Ben
M'hidi University, Oum El Bouaghi. Questionnaires were analyzed and compared. The
results of both questionnaires show that group work is a functional technique for enhancing
students' oral performance, i.e. speaking skill. In the light of these results, our hypothesis
is assured in that students need to be provided with this technique because it encourages
them to develop their speaking skill, and it creates suitable situations where they can use
and exchange the language delightedly, and without hesitation.
