The study involved 93 participants out of 278 grade 11th students. In other words, the study covers 1/3 of the targeted population. It also included 4 randomly selected English teachers. As the students were grouped into 4 sections, simple random sampling techniques were employed to determine the specific representative sample wanted from each section. To collect data from the subjects, the study utilized observation using audio recordings as a major tool and questionnaire for both students and teachers. Two selected sections were observed twice each. The recordings were played repeatedly to see, the amount of talking time, the questioning practices, wait time, and the provision of feedback during student-teacher's 'Oral interaction practices. The talk was analyzed based on the Flint system adapted from Moskowitz, 1971. The questionnaires of both the s tudents and the teachers were analyzed by grouping the similar items together using tabular frequency and percentage. The results showed that teachers dominated the amount of talk, they forwarded short answers and/ or knowledge or factual information questions and none of the students in tum asked the teacher question, not tolerating till response came from the students, intelTupting learners while expressing their responses/ ideas for elTor cOlTection are the results obtained.
