Abstract

     In the field of instruction, the integration of technologies is considered as a conceptual revolution and an innovative practical tool in foreign language classroom. Yet, in language classrooms, it appears piecemeal, that is, gradual and fragmentary, and sometimes even totally absent. Regarding the educational system in Algeria, different methods and techniques are already adopted to pave the way towards improving the teaching/learning process particularly assisting the EFL learners to master the target language not only in writing but also n speaking.

Towards this inevitable evolution in the Algerian higher educational system, this paper attempts to explore into the main difficulties our EFL learners encounter and thus, find out the alternative techniques to develop their oral skills using audio-visual aids such as slides projectors.

Key Words: Oral skills, difficulties, oral performance, slides projector, speaking activities.
