The study was conducted with a sample of 18 EFL teachers and 122 students from the Department of English Language and Literature in Arrass. This population was selected to provide insights from both educators’ perspectives and learners' experiences, aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of brainstorming techniques in enhancing English proficiency.The main characteristics of modern education are Interaction, communication, and engagement. To facilitate learner-centered education and enhance outcomes, it is believed that an interactive class must incorporate active participation. Brainstorming is a popular participative strategy for decision-making that can be effectively employed in a classroom situation. This study is analytical. Despite utilizing a descriptive research methodology, data from the relevant populations were collected through questionnaires. The findings illustrate that brainstorming is a very successful instructional approach that attracts the attention of both students and teachers. The main objective of the present study was to investigate the learning environment and address the related processes using descriptive research methods. Two questionnaires were specifically designed for students, and the other was made for teachers. Before administering the two tools, an assessment of content validity was conducted. Below is a detailed examination of the two instruments employed in the study and the researcher's observations and expertise. A thorough examination of the student questionnaires, analyzing each item individually. Exhaustive Compilation.
