“…As noted by Yunus et al (2011), the quality of the relationship between the teacher and the student, greatly influences their academic achievement and motivation. A study, conducted to identify factors impacting students' motivation in an ESL classroom, demonstrated that students had more motivation when the lecturers fostered an approachable, friendly relationship with the students (Mustapha et al 2010). Therefore, understanding student-teacher relationship may provide a valuable insight to communication in the ESL classroom.…”

“…Classroom participation is the mechanism and utilization of best practices to foster a better classroom experience. Class participation has been seen through the two main perspectives: student's perspective (Loftin et al, 2010;Mustapha, Rahman, & Yunus, 2010) and also teacher's perspective (Mustapha et al, 2010).…”

Aim/PurposeDevelopment of a conceptual model linking early class preparation to improve class participation and performance. Background Class preparation and class participation are precursors for the students' performance. MethodologyLiterature review FindingsIn a student-centered class environment, class preparation remains essential for the successful collaboration and participation. The literature review in this stream reveals that little attention has been paid to undergraduate class levels. Recommendation for ResearchersThe literature review shows that there is a need for more research using undergraduate classes. Future ResearchValidation and application of model in different educational program and discipline settings

“…The advantages of participation in the class discussions have been researched extremely during the last years (Mustapha et al, 2010). One of the scarce cases that create roughly homogeneous consensus in the universities is student of OP (Cole, 1996;Finn & Voelkl, 1993;Stanton-Salazar, 1997).…”

“…Studies have confirmed that foreign language anxiety was experienced by most of students in language learning, negatively impacted their practices in that language (Liu, 2007), and also environmental factors including lecturer traits, classmate traits, engaging class content and conducive physical settings (Mustapha et al, 2010); pair work and group work as learner-learner interaction (LLI) pattern can provide language models for the creation of interact with each other (Erten, 2000) and facilitate language development. Language classrooms can be seen as sociolinguistic environments (Cazden, 1988) and discourse communities (Hall & Verplaetse, 2000) in which interaction is believed to contribute to learners' language development.…”

Class participation is considered as a way that accordingly, the students appeared actively into the educational process and to help in strengthening our teaching and bringing liveliness to the classroom. Oral participation (OP) is important for students of English Language Training (ELT). This study attempts to determine which factors students find most influential in their oral participation in a foreign language class and its relations with English language development (ELD). Structural equation modeling using LISREL software was used to analyze data. According to the derived constructs and the evaluation criteria for goodness-of-fit, the results approved the validity of the projected construct. The interpretation of the results obtained from SEM and the results of hypothesis testing showed that there are significant relationships between factors affecting on oral participation and also relationships between oral participation and language development. SEM results show that final model based on ELT have proved that ELD was controlled with OP by 65%. Therefore, proposed model of this research can increase the success of ELD studies in L2. Therefore final model has proved that ELD was controlled by educational factors (EF) more than social factors (SOF) and student factors (SF). The structure of the general model presented should be applicable to students of ELT and second language learning environment. Findings suggest this case study fits the unique criteria of a 'second language' learner.
