Abstract The aim of this article was threefold. First, the study aimed to compare the participants’ storytelling and feedback in traditional and online settings. The study also considered the effect of participants’ feedback on the improvement of the participants’ organization of the story. Third, the dominant features of the participants’ feedback in traditional and in online classes were compared. To accomplish these aims, 36 Iranian EFL junior students from Payame Noor University were selected through the Test of Speaking English. The selected participants were non-randomly put into two traditional and online groups; each consisted of 18 subjects. The pretest and post-test were administered before and after the treatment. The subjects were required to tell a story spontaneously by looking at the pictures on the slide. Other subjects were supposed to give feedback on the story elements of their peer’s storytelling. The structures of the story were presented to the participants implicitly. At the end, comparing the results of pretest and post-test, it was revealed that there was a significance difference between two groups. The participants in online classroom performed better both in storytelling and in giving feedback than the participants in traditional classroom. Different forms of corrective feedback were applied prominently by the participants in both groups. However, interactive feedback was noticeably used by subjects in online group. The study concludes instructors can benefit using social networks in teaching-learning process to develop their students’ language learning and speaking skills.
