Abstract
Oral feedback is an essential component of language teaching and learning. The present study focuses on examining the attitudes of teachers and students towards teachers' oral feedback and its impact on classroom interaction. The primary objective was to investigate whether oral feedback assists students in improving their interactional skills within the classroom with the hypothesis that oral feedback enhances learners' interaction inside the classroom. The methodology employed in our research is a quantitative, descriptive. Two questionnaires were administered to both
teachers and students of English at Larbi Ben M'Hidi University in Oum El Bouaghi.
Our sample was composed of twenty teachers and sixty students from the same department. The findings show that teachers rely on feedback to enhance both teacher-learner and learner-learner interactions in the classroom. Furthermore, both teachers and students have confirmed that oral feedback, including both positive and
negative types, is effective for facilitating classroom interaction. So, it is suggested that teachersshouldprovide their students with positive and negative feedback becauseboth are important for the teaching and learning process. Additionally, they shouldpay attention to their tone of their oral feedback because it affects students' emotionstheir learning.
