Abstract: It is currently unclear how the oral corrective feedback (CF) in the speaking process affects the motivation of English as a Foreign Language (EFL)learners to speak in communicative classrooms. The current study intended to address this problemby testing whether EFL learners' motivation by correctingtheir errors is influenced significantly by corrective feedbackwhile not causing any demotivation tothe learnersto speakin a second language (L2) one way or another. As per the results of the analysis of the gathered primary data in the study, it was found that the participants were not only greatly motivated to correct their errors by the corrective feedback, but on the other hand, they were demotivatedfrom speaking. The study therefore concluded that corrective feedback makes EFL learners in Saudi Arabian secondary school classrooms motivated enough to correct their errors, but simultaneously demotivates themfrom speaking.
