The aim of the present quantitative study is to explore teachers’ and learners’ views of some teaching practices impact on learners’ effectiveness in terms of participation, effort expenditure, and engagement in the language classroom.

Research participants were 200 learners chosen randomly from four secondary schools and 21 surveyed English language teachers selected purposefully from six secondary schools.

The close ended questionnaire has elicited the perceptions of both learners and teachers to disclose which teaching practices boost learners’ effectiveness in the foreign language classroom.

The findings unveiled a missimatch in teachers’ and learners’ viewpoints.

Therefore, this implies that teachers need to adapt their teaching style according to the learners’ perceptions.
