This paper examines the reasons behind side-talking during classes and the possible solutions that could curb side-talking during classes. The data was collected through two different instruments, the first one was a questionnaire that was distributed to 80 participants (70 were students from grade five and 10 were teachers from Musab Bin Al-Zubair School in Al-Khoud). The questionnaire examined the reasons behind side-talking and the possible solutions of reducing side-talking during classes. The second was by conducting interviews with four students from grade five who were talking privately with their classmates during classes more than the rest of the students. The results of this paper reveal that there are many reasons behind side-talking during classes and this issue can be reduced through using creative solutions. At the end of the research paper, recommendations, limitations, and further research are discussed.
