Abstract

Speaking performance is a fundamental aspect of language proficiency and communication. Effective speaking skills enable individuals to engage in meaningful conversations, presentations, and participate actively in oral expression classes. During speaking, students of English as a foreign language may receive negative feedback from their teachers especially when they make mistakes. This study aims at investigating whether oral expression teachers use negative feedback in their classes and identifying its effects on students. It also investigates students’ attitudes towards the effects of teachers’ negative feedback on their speaking performance. In order to achieve the goals of this research, a descriptive approach was utilized, and data was collected through the administration of two questionnaires.
