Abstract

EFL learners must deal in communicative practices to master the target language. This study examines EFL students’ willingness to communicate (WTC), due to its absolute impact on their communication. This is a quantitative study that attempts to find the relationship between Saudi EFL learners’ WTC, teacher-student rapport and teacher stroke. The 130 Saudi female students from the College of Business Administration at Taif University, enrolled in English for academic purposes, took part by answering three questionnaires. The data were analysed by Spearman-Rho correlation, using SPSS software. The result was a significant positive correlation between 1) Saudi EFL learners’ WTC and teacher-student rapport, 2) stroke and Saudi EFL learners’ WTC and 3) teacher-student rapport and stroke. This study will have a sound effect on helping educators understand the importance of building good teacher-student rapport and providing a positive teacher stroke for enhancing Saudi EFL learners’ WTC in the classroom.
