Abstract EN
Conversation course at colleges is considered to be a challenge in language teaching.
It may help students improve their oral skills, i.e.
to listen attentively, speak and communicate more confidently and clearly.
This research explores teachers and students attitudes towards conversation courses.
To achieve the aim of this research, the researchers adopted two questionnaires for teachers and students; each one of them consists of 25 items.
Alpha Cronbach’s formula is used for both tools in order to ensure reliability.
For teachers’ questionnaire, it is found out that the reliability value is 0.705.
For students’ questionnaire, it was found out that the reliability value is 0.662.
In order to find out the teacher and students' positive or negative attitudes towards conversation courses, teachers from six universities have been chosen as well as third year female college students.
One sample t-test formula is used; it is found that the calculated t-value of teachers' attitudes is 23.27 whereas of students' attitudes is 13.13 which are both higher than the tabulated value 2.000.
Accordingly, conclusions, recommendations and suggestions for further studies are put forward.
