In order to foster learning, instructors create and apply various teaching strategies for triggering learners‘ interest in the language learning process. ?e goal of this research is to scrutinize the effectiveness of our classroom teaching strategies and the relative importance of students‘ perception of these strategies. ?e outcome of this research study implied that the instructors and students agreed on the relative frequency of some of the strategies, but not on the frequency of other strategies. Nevertheless, this research study holds a gamut of potentially important implications to gain insight of which strategy was most effective from the students‘ perspective.
