Perceived causes of low participation were also examined in relation to students' and teachers' perceived importance of humor in learning / teaching process. A descriptive study was chosen to test the following hypothesis "The humorous use of language will improve EFL students' participation in classroom discourse" Targeting master one students linguistic and literature streams at L'arbi Ben M'Hidi university. The questionnaires revealed an expected positive effect of general humor usage, with a noticeable positive effect on willingness to participate. Recommendations about the appropriate use of humor along with the limitation of the study have been discussed.
