Abstract
This study seeks to investigate the effectiveness of getting students involved in classroom negotiation of decision making about ways of working on their motivation. It is based on descriptive study in which two questionnaires are submitted to teachers and students of the english department at Larbi Ben M'Hidi university. The research findings suggested that students' motivation would increase if they get the opportunity to negotiate decisions about classroom ways of working. These decisions are mainly related to classroom activities, classroom materials and classroom schedule. The results also revealed that, imposing decisions on students may create learning difficulties, and teaching them through their preferences would raise their responsibility and autonomy as well.
