Students' participation in English classroom at College of Science and Humanities, Sulail is being investigated in this study to see what internal and external factors influence their participation. Students' participation in English classroom is hindered and influenced by a variety of factors, including their fear of public speaking, familiarity with the topics covered, and instructor characteristics. For this reason, a quantitative design, based on a questionnaire is used in order to reach the aim. The sample of the study includes the English department students of different levels ranging from level 3 to 8. This research will delve even further into the hidden and implicit sources of participation in order to shed light on what might occur in the classroom as a whole, rather than just on particular behaviours, rather than just on specific behaviours.
