Abstract :This study examines the relationship between teachers\\\' discourse tactics and learners\\\' soft skills at the department of English in Khenchela University. The fundamental objective of this study was to investigate the features of teachers’ discourse and their effects on learners’ soft skills. A purely qualitative research design was adopted to establish the relationship between the two variables; an observation method was conducted in Oral Expression sessions with three groups to gain an in-depth insight into how teachers’ discourse affects learners’ soft skills and interaction in the classroom. The findings obtained from the implementation of the selected instrument proved that teachers\\\' discourse (like humour, body language, and simple language) clearly affected students\\\' soft skills and their participation in the classroom discussion. These results would raise teachers\\\' awareness about the significance of selecting the appropriate discursive strategies to foster students\\\' involvement in the learning process and develop their soft skills, especially what concerns critical thinking, creativity, and motivation.
