ABSTRACT The current research aims to address the role of teachers and the techniques they use to develop interactive skills for English Language Learners EFL. It also examines the impact of using educational games to stimulate students’ English learning and increases interaction within classroom. The study was conducted on a sample of second-year secondary school students studying foreign languages at Aissa Hamitouche Institution in Bordj Bou Arreridj. To achieve this objective, educational games were used with a sample of 20 males and females students. To answer the study’s questions and test its hypothesis, two instruments were used to conduct this research: a questionnaire that provided information about the methods used by the teachers to develop interactive skills between the teacher and students or among students, and classroom observation that included both students and the teacher. The mixed method was the appropriate approach to accomplish this study. The data analysis was done manually; thematic analysis was employed to analyze qualitative data collected through classroom observation. The study’s results showed significant differences in teacher’s responses regarding the techniques used and the positive impact of using educational games in improving students’ interactive skills. On the other hand, the thematic analysis revealed that most students actively engage with the stimulus technique throughout learning English with educational games, which greatly contributed to enhance their self-confidence. Additionally, most students showed great enthusiasm for participating in educational games with their teacher, especially when asked to answer oral questions or discuss specific ideas.
