This study aims at investigating praise and feedback practices in the EFL classroom. The method implemented in this
study is qualitative method. The researcher conducted the study using observation as the main tool. The researcher has
chosen two classes from two schools, grade four class from the primary school and a class from a secondary school where
the students and teachers from the two different observed schools were involved. Through the findings of this study
regarding praise and feedback in the EFL classroom, it is crucial to use them in classrooms in a proper way. Besides;
praise and feedback encourage and motivate students mainly if praise is targeted and not used just randomly. Teachers
should use positive specified praise if they are impressed by an answer or behaviour, Furthermore, the study revealed
that feedback should be given regularly whether verbal or non-verbal. Teachers should care about the selected feedback
they are going to use, in other words, for young children, ability feedback is preferable while for older ones, effort feedback
is preferred
