The main focus of that study is to make an investigation about EFL teachers, if they succeeded in providing and distributing equal interaction opportunities for both male and female students. In order to meet these objectives and answer questions about this issue, a descriptive method (survey method) was adopted. The first tool used in this research, for data collection, is a classroom observation checklist, which was designed based on a model extracted from the internet and based on some categories related to the variables of this study: classroom interaction and gender bias. These observations are conducted twelve (12) times after taking teachers' permission to attend and observe their interaction with their students in different english courses, especially the courses that require much interaction. The second tool is two questionnaires designed based on the same categories of interaction and on the evaluative types of teacher feedback interaction (praise, criticism, and acceptance) in the checklist. These questionnaires were administered to the same sample which is 20 teachers and 50 students of master one, in the english department at Larbi Ben M'Hidi university in Oum-El-Bouaghi. In addition, after taking notes from the classroom observation and gathering answers from the questionnaires, we came to conclusion that english teachers do not practice gender bias among their students in terms of interaction, and interaction is not really encouraged among the observed sample. Furthermore, as a constraint, female students are dominating the english department which means we cannot recognize that teachers are holding stereotypic behaviors and practicing gender bias. Finally, some pedagogical implications are suggested.enEnseignement langue (anglais) : EFLOther
