Résumé: This work is concerned with EFL teachers' and students' perception of the effect of classroom interaction on enhancing learners' communicative competence. It is certain that the corner stone of language learning is to interact using that language appropriately. Consequently, classroom interaction is considered as an important aspect for EFL teachers and learners in language/learning process. This study aimed at testing one hypothesis which was formulated as follows: a successful classroom interaction has an effect on learners' communicative competence development. In the current study, a descriptive method was applied through two questionnaires. The first questionnaire was addressed to 40 third year LMD students from the department of English at l'Arbi Ben Mhidi University. The second one was administered to 10 teachers of oral expression at the same department. On the basis of the data collected from both questionnaires, our hypothesis was confirmed. Results showed that most teachers and learners believe that through classroom interaction, learners can enhance their communicative competence because both of them are aware of the importance of interaction inside the classroom.
