This study aims to highlight the importance of the interactive relationship between the teacher and his learners and between the learners with each other. It sometimes requires making adjustments to the existing educational methods. This depends mainly on verbal interaction within the classroom. This study adopted the approach of describing and analyzing verbal classroom interactions. By focusing on direct inspection using (video) and utilizing Flanders’ system for measuring and analyzing verbal classroom interaction, without neglecting to compare the observed percentages with the standard percentages of the ideal teacher model to answer the problem: What is the effect of using systems for measuring verbal classroom interaction in developing the skill of Oral expression? The most prominent results reached are that teachers do not realize that the activities of the learning classroom are distributed according to specific ratios to provide a successful and fruitful classroom interactive atmosphere. The evidence for this is the wide difference between the overall ratios observed in the classroom and the agreed-upon standard ratios. This imbalance calls for attention to be addressed through teacher training practically in many fields.
