ItemStudents’ and Teachers Perception Of Corrective Feedback In Oral Proficiency Case Study: Second Year LMD English Students at Chadli Bendjedid University(University of Chadli BENDJEDID-EL-Tarf, 2018) Randa RechachFeedback is considered as an important technique in teaching English as foreign language (EFL). This study emphasizes the effects of teachers’ feedback on the EFL learners oral production, and therefore, on the effectiveness of their learning. The present study is based on the hypotheses which state that since speaking skill is considered as a difficult task, and students face different obstacles during their oral production. Undertaking teachers’ oral feedback would be a motivator that encourages students to overcome their obstacles and to improve their oral performance for a good production. It aims to give some clarification about the reality of EFL learners’ oral production and their committed errors in the classroom, and the effectiveness of teachers’ feedback as a strategy to overlap students’ obstacles during their oral performance and also to encourage EFL students to develop their oral language. In order to conduct this research and check the validity of the main hypotheses, the questionnaire is the tool that is used in this study; the first questionnaire is administrated to second-year students LMD at EL-Tarf University to obtain insights about their teachers’ feedback. The second questionnaire is done for teachers of English at EL-Tarf University to get opinions about their learners’ obstacles when speaking, and about the effectiveness of the feedback. The findings obtained have shown that EFL students like to practice speaking but they find obstacles during their speech, and the teacher should correct these mistakes by providing their feedback. It can be effective at the end of the students’oral production by giving advice rather than criticism. The feedback is a helpful strategy to enhance EFL learners’ speaking production. تعتبر ردود افعل أسلوب مهم في تدريس الغة الإجليزية لغة أجبية. ترز هذ ادارسة على آثار تعليقات امعلمين على الإتاج اشفهي متعلمي الغة الإجليزية لغة أجبية ، وباتاي على فعاية تعلمهم. تعتمد ادارسة احاية على ا لأن مهارة اتحدث تعتبر مهمة صعبة ، يواجه اطلاب عقبات مختلفة أثاء إتاجهم ًافرضيات اتي تص على أه ظر ا يشجع اطلاب على اتغلب على اعقبات اتي ًاشفهي. إن إبداء املاحظات اشفهية لمعلمين من شأه أن يون محفز يواجهوها وتحسين أدائهم اشفوي من أجل إتاج جيد. ويهدف إى تقديم بعض اتوضيحات حول واقع الإتاج اشفهي لمتعلمين في الغة الإجلي ز أجبية وأخطائهم املتزمة في افصل ادارسي ، وفعاية تعليقات امعلمين إستارتيجية ية لغة تجاوز عقبات اطلاب أثاء أدائهم اشفهي ، وذك تشجيع طلاب الغة الإجليزية لغة أجبية على اتطور غتهم اشفوية. من أجل إجارء هذا ابحث واتحقق من صحة افرضيات ارئيسية ديا ، فإن الاستبيان هو الأداة امستخدمة في هذ ادارسة ؛ يتم إرشاد الاستبيان الأول إى طلاب اسة اثاية في في جامعة اطارف لتعرف على آارء امعلمين.اما الاستبيان اثاي فهو مدرسي الغة الإجليزية بجامعة اطارف لحصول على آارء حول عوائق امتعلمين عد اتحدث . وقد أظهرت اتائج اتي تم احصول عليها أن طلاب الغة الإجليزية لغة أجبية يفضلون ممارسة اتحدث وهم يجدون عقبات خلال حديثهم ، وعلى امعلم تصحيح هذ الأخطاء من خلال تقديم ملاحظاتهم. يمن أن تون فعاة في هاية إتاج اطلاب عن طريق تقديم امشورة بدلا من اقاد. اتغذية امرتدة هي إستارتيجية مفيدة تعزيز إتاج متحدثي متعلمي الغة الإجليزية لغة أجبية

ItemTeachers' Perspectives towards the Role of Formative Assessment in Enhancing EAP Students' Scientific Writing Skill Case Study: First Year Students of Biology at Chadli Bendjedid University El-Tarf(University of Chadli BENDJEDID-EL-Tarf, 2018) Hadjer OUEZNADJI ; Hanene DJOUDIThe present research aims at investigating the teachers’ perspective towards the role of formative assessment in enhancing EAP students’ scientific writing skills and the different problems they encounter while writing in English, besides whether this type of feedback from teachers can really help them develop their writing proficiency. For this reason, and in order to gather the needed data, we have used the descriptive method in which we have administered a questionnaire for ESP teachers in the department of Biology at Chadli Bendjedid EL-Tarf University, so as to know if the formative assessment is the best way for teachers as to improve their students’ writing performance. Consequently, the obtained results have absolutely confirmed our hypothesis which entails that when teachers give a positive and systematic formative assessment to EAP students, they will encourage them to achieve their writing performance. From there it appeared that both teachers as well as students gave importance to the formative assessment as an effective tool in improving the writing skill. Indeed, providing frequent constructive feedback to students especially while writing is very important because they are going to be more skilful in using the English Language Teaching (ELT) in particular, and by consequence enhancing the writing skill. يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة وجهة نظر المعلمين تجاه دور التقييم التكويني في تعزيز مهارات الكتابة العلمية لدى طلاب اللغة الإنجليزية لأغراض أكاديمية، والمشكلات المختلفة التي يواجهونها أثناء الكتابة باللغة الإنجليزية، بالإضافة إلى معرفة ما إذا كان هذا النوع من التغذية الراجعة من المعلمين يمكن أن يساعدهم حقًا في تطوير كفاءتهم الكتابية. لهذا السبب، ولجمع البيانات اللازمة، استخدمنا المنهج الوصفي، حيث أجرينا استبيانًا على معلمي اللغة الإنجليزية لأغراض أكاديمية في قسم الأحياء بجامعة الشاذلي بن جديد الطرف، وذلك لمعرفة ما إذا كان التقييم التكويني هو الوسيلة الأمثل للمعلمين لتحسين أداء طلابهم الكتابي. وبالتالي، أكدت النتائج التي تم الحصول عليها بشكل قاطع فرضيتنا التي تنص على أنه عندما يقدم المعلمون تقييمًا تكوينيًا إيجابيًا ومنهجيًا لطلاب اللغة الإنجليزية لأغراض أكاديمية، فإنهم سيشجعونهم على تحقيق أدائهم الكتابي. ومن هنا، ظهر أن كلًا من المعلمين والطلاب قد أولوا أهمية للتقييم التكويني كأداة فعالة في تحسين مهارة الكتابة. في الواقع، يعد تقديم ملاحظات بناءة متكررة للطلاب، وخاصة أثناء الكتابة، أمرًا بالغ الأهمية لأنهم سيكونون أكثر مهارة في استخدام تدريس اللغة الإنجليزية (ELT) على وجه الخصوص، وبالتالي تعزيز مهارة الكتابة.

ItemExploring Strategies to Reading Comprehension via Intentional Vocabulary Learning Case Study: 2 nd Year LMD Students of English at Chadli Bendjedid University El-Tarf(University of Chadli BENDJEDID-EL-Tarf, 2018) Chahinez ChelghoumRecently, the value of vocabulary learning strategies has been recognized by researchers in the field of cognitive psychology. This research work explores strategies to reading comprehension through intentional vocabulary learning. In order to examine the rate of appropriateness of our topic, two basic research questions are proposed (1) what are the effects of lack of understanding of vocabularies ‘meanings on reading comprehension? (2) To what extent intentional vocabulary learning is efficient in realizing strong reading comprehension? To attain the aim of our work, we conducted an experimental inquiry to confirm our hypothesis which states that as long as students depend on intentional vocabulary learning as a key technique in identifying new words’ meanings; they will certainly win a correct, relevant and significant reading comprehension of any text. In addition, this experiment had been conducted on two first year groups at the Department of English in Chadli Bendjedid University El-Tarf; the treated group’s level improved after the experiment and their control upon intentional learning mostly increased. Consequently the learning process would be easier. في الآونة الأخيرة، أدرك الباحثون في مجال علم النفس المعرفي أهمية استراتيجيات تعلم المفردات. يستكشف هذا البحث استراتيجيات فهم القراءة من خلال التعلم المتعمد للمفردات. ولفحص مدى ملاءمة موضوعنا، نطرح سؤالين بحثيين أساسيين: (1) ما هي آثار عدم فهم معاني المفردات على فهم القراءة؟ (2) إلى أي مدى يُعد التعلم المتعمد للمفردات فعالاً في تحقيق فهم قوي للقراءة؟ ولتحقيق هدف عملنا، أجرينا تحقيقًا تجريبيًا لتأكيد فرضيتنا التي تنص على أنه طالما اعتمد الطلاب على التعلم المتعمد للمفردات كتقنية أساسية في تحديد معاني الكلمات الجديدة؛ فإنهم سيحققون بالتأكيد فهمًا صحيحًا وذا صلة وذا مغزى لأي نص. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، أُجريت هذه التجربة على مجموعتين من طلاب السنة الأولى في قسم اللغة الإنجليزية في جامعة الشاذلي بن جديد بالطارف. تحسن مستوى المجموعة المُعالَجة بعد التجربة، وزادت سيطرتها على التعلم العمديّ بشكل ملحوظ. وبالتالي، أصبحت عملية التعلم أسهل.

ItemStudents and Teachers’ Perceptions towards the Effectiveness of Using Mind-Mapping Technique in Note- Taking (Case Study: First Year LMD Students of English at Chadli Bendjedid University, El Tarf)(University of Chadli BENDJEDID-EL-Tarf, 2018) Fradjia, Meriem ; Mederbel, AhlemSince taking notes is a necessity at university classes, English as Foreign Language (EFL) students are always wondering about the way they are going to use to accurately capture key information and main ideas. Usually, they tend to use the traditional way that involves linear notes; it is a time consuming and hard to retrieve, when they can simply shift their attention to using a creative note-taking method i.e. mind mapping. This research work aims at investigating both EFL teachers and students’ attitudes towards the importance of using mind- mapping strategy in improving EFL students’ note taking skills. To achieve such an aim, two questionnaires are addressed to both five written expression teachers and forty first year License Master Doctorate (LMD) students of English at Chadli Bendjedid El Tarf University. The data analysis reveals that both teachers and students have positive perceptions towards using mind mapping strategy and its effect in enhancing EFL students’ note-taking skill. In the light of what has been discussed, a set of recommendations has been proposed to raise both teachers and students’ awareness about the importance of using such a technique and its effects in increasing EFL learners’ levels and achievements as well.

ItemBridging the Gap between Theory and Practice: An attempt to Boost Creativity in EFL classroom The case of Algerian EFL Secondary School Teachers in the Region of Skikda(University of Chadli BENDJEDID-EL-Tarf, 2019) BOUTEINA NakibThe central issue addressed in this study is the place creative practice hold in EFL classroom. More specifically, a questionnaire and interviews were designed to investigate teachers practice for creative and critical thinking strategies regarding their importance in bridging the theory practice gap in EFL teaching. The obtained results revealed that teachers implement creativity in their teaching. Most of them reacted positively to the importance creative teaching has in relation to the process of teaching and learning. This study enabled us to draw significant conclusions regarding the creative teaching skills in the Algerian secondary schools. To this regard, a great work is still to be done to make the implementation of creative environment as fruitful as expected and to make the conditions for better education more favorable. The finding revealed that the implementation of well creative and critical thinking needs creative teachers who are required to widen their knowledge about creativity and how to be a creative person. It is surely that classroom practice is very important to creative teachers because teaching requires both proficiency and creativity. Unlike the tradition method where it was expected from teachers to be the central of their own teaching neglecting creativity. If we consider our self to be one of those who hold this opinion, our work has been a modest attempt to prove it. Yet, in the field of education and scientific research the reader remains the best judge. This research hoped to give a clearer view on how creativity employed all in all in EFL teaching. The importance of creative practice that has been stressed by the teachers and inspectors help progressive education to manage more practice in nearly future and to expand creativity to every teaching and learning classroom.

ItemL’effet de l’évaluation sur le développement de la production écrite dans une classe de FLE(Université Chadli Ben Djedid d’El-Tarf, 2019) BECHINIA OUACIMOn ne peut dire que l’enseignement/ apprentissage du FLE a atteint son but sans faire progresser l’apprenant, et lui rendre facile l’acquisition des compétences langagières. Inciter ses élèves à écrire devrait faire partie du quotidien de l’enseignant car l’écriture est par essence multidimensionnelle et complexe. Cette pratique scripturale doit être évalué pour que les élèves profitent de l’analyse de leur texte, pour détecter leurs difficultés et faire tentative, pour développer et améliorer leurs productions. Et si l’enseignant apporte toujours son aide durant le processus d’apprentissage à l’apprenant, il doit évaluer ses apprenants pour vérifier ce qui a été compris, pour faire des séances de remédiation si nécessaire aux apprenants qui demeurent toujours en difficultés et réorganiser ses méthodes d’enseignement selon les besoins de l’apprenant et les objectifs de son cours. .Au cours de notre modeste recherche sur l’effet de l’évaluation sur le développement de la production écrite, nous avons travaillé sur trois chapitres : deux chapitres théoriques et un chapitrepratique. Notre thème quoique passionnant reste difficile à entamer car l’acte de l’évaluation en dépit des difficultés de sa mise en œuvre, a un lien indissociable avec celui de la remédiation. Nous disons que toutes les difficultés recensées lors de la pratique de l’évaluation de la production écrite doivent être traitée d’une manière rigoureuse. A cet égard, l’enseignant doit passer à une série d’activités dans des séances de remédiation qui doivent répondre aux objectifs d’apprentissage et qui pourraient donner des résultats satisfaisants. La pratique de l’évaluation de la production écrite est très délicate parce qu’elle a d’autres enjeux culturels, personnels, sociaux…L’enseignant doit apprendre à apprendre une nouvelle manière d’enseigner la production écrite d’où l’erreur recensé lors de l’évaluation est au cœur de l’apprentissage. Cette évaluation constitue sans doute une feuille de route pour aider les apprenants à développer leurs compétences scripturale en s’impliquant dans leur apprentissage. Enfin nous estimons à travers ce modeste travail qu’on ait pu éclaircir ce concept et son importance pour la production écrite, et pour cela, nous confirmons notre hypothèse que l’évaluation de la production écrite est importante pour le développement de la compétence scripturale. Nous espérons que ce travail ouvrira d’autres perspectives de recherche comme : Peut-on changer le système d'évaluation à l'école algérienne ?

ItemEXPLORING THE EFFECTS OF WATCHING AMERICAN TV SERIES ON VOCABULARY USE IN CLASSROOMS: EFL STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS AND TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES. CASE STUDY: SECOND YEAR EFL STUDENTS AT CHADLI BENDJEDID UNIVERSITY.(University of Chadli BENDJEDID-EL-Tarf, 2019) Abderrahmane TahentiThe present study scouts about the effects of watching American TV series on vocabulary use in EFL classrooms. It seeks to verify the suggested hypotheses on second year EFL students’ perceptions and EFL teachers’ perspectives toward the issue at Chadli Bendjedid University. The study followed a quantitative descriptive method in analysing the data gathered from the administered questionnaires for both EFL students and teachers at the above mentioned university during the academic year 2018/2019. The obtained results from the gathered data give clear image about watching American TV series. It is demonstrated that EFL students have negative vocabulary outcomes concerning their awareness about formal and informal use of vocabulary inside the classroom. In addition, the findings showed that teachers are against that American TV series involving in enriching EL vocabulary or in learning in general. While a minority reported that students need guidance to extract what is only good for their sake and by following some instructions that will fulfil their objectives. When seeing students’, who are more aware of the matter, questionnaires, we can see that their amount of watching these series is fewer than the other group of students. Moreover, their external activities are embodied in reading, listening to audiobooks which is a better way to enrich vocabulary. Compared to the opposite group of students, who depend on subtitles and sit most of their times in front of TV, the gap is very huge between the two groups. And it is understood that everything is related to each other, the more you watch, with subtitles, wasting time on chat and music, with no contact with books nor academic stuff, the unaware you ,will become and vice versa. . This study was limited to second year EFL students at Chadli Bendjedid University, and it would be more practical to explore this subject area with larger population and to broaden it to see the effects of books and series or movies working together to provide and prepare a rich quality of students, not wealthy with rich but rich with knowledge.

ItemTeaching EFL Pronunciation in Algerian Middle Schools: Teachers’ Perceptions and Classroom Practices Case Study of EFL Middle School Teachers in El-Kal(University of Chadli BENDJEDID-EL-Tarf, 2019) Farah BerrakThe principal goal of our research is to investigate EFL middle school teachers’ perceptions and their instruction approaches regarding teaching English pronunciation. For this aim, we have put forward two hypotheses to be tested: EFL teachers have positive perceptions and attitudes regarding TP to MS pupils. For this reason, they do incorporate different approaches and methods to practise language pronunciation in class. The present study was composed of four chapters. The first chapter was the theoretical part, while the last three chapters were the practical part of the study. In this research, the data were collected by means of a self-completion questionnaire and a classroom observation. The observation results were used to support and complement the questionnaire’s results. The results obtained revealed that EFL middle school teachers have positive attitudes regarding TP. Yet, when it comes to their teaching practices, they often used the traditional methods to practise EP. Also, there are some aspects that negatively affect their teaching or practicing pronunciation such as: the lack of training, the insufficient time allotted to teach English language, the lack of technology, and the inappropriate curriculum. Last but not least, the researcher proposed some recommendations for both the educational system and teachers in order to raise their awareness about the importance of TP in MS. Yet, further studies incorporating a similar design and a larger size of data and respondents are needed in order to verify the conclusions we have advanced here.

ItemEnhancing EFL Learners’ Oral Proficiency Through Teachers’ Positive Feedback Case Study: First Year EFL Students’ at Chadli Ben Djedid University El-Tarf(University of Chadli BENDJEDID-EL-Tarf, 2019) Sameh AMER MEDJAN ; Moufida BAHRThis study aims at investigating the importance of teachers' positive feedback in enhancing students’ oral proficiency. We hypothesized that teachers' positive feedback develops learners’ oral performances. Thus, we conducted this research with 30 first year students of English as a foreign language (EFL) at Chadli Ben Djedid University EL_ Tarf and nine(09) teachers from the same university. We administered two questionnaires for both teachers and students to gather the required data through descriptive research method for this study. Therefore, the results collected from those questionnaires showed that using teachers' positive feedback fosters learners' disposition to perform orally in front of audience and overcome the difficulties that affect their oral production such as: Anxiety, shyness, mother tongue use.... etc. It is recommended that teachers could provide students with the appropriate feedback to guide, correct and motivate them for promoting better oral productions throughout their learning process.

Face à un échantillon de sept (07) caricatures, nous voulons découvrir comment est représenté le danger de l’inondation en Algérie, tout en montrant les fonctions de ce support mixte. L’analyse de ces caricatures selon la méthode de Roland Barthes dévoile les stratégies choisies par les caricaturistes. Qui en utilisant les figures de styles, dépasse la fonction « informer » pour passer un message implicite où il dénonce l’état de l’Algérie inondée, culpabilise le système et l’accuse de la responsabilité entière de cet é

It aims at to finding out the different challenges teachers face and the solutions they apply to overcome these obstacles and enhance pupils’ writing proficiency. To test the research hypotheses, a descriptive method is adopted as the most appropriate method to carry out the study. Two questionnaires were administrated to both secondary school teachers and pupils at Marzoug Cherife, Bouraoui Laaridi Sadek in EL-TAREF, and Ayadi Ali in Boutelja EL-TAREF during the academic year (2018/2019). The research is composed of four (4) chapters: chapter one covered the literature review related to writing skill and paragraph writing. The second chapter dealt with the situation analyses and research design. Third chapter tackled the analyses of data gathered from pupils’ and teachers’ questionnaire. The fourth chapter dealt with the discussion of research finding and recommendations. Through the current study our hypotheses are validated and our research questions improved that secondary school teachers face serious challenges while teaching (PW) for third year pupils of Foreign Languages classes which hinder the process of teaching writing skill and paragraph writing effectively these challenges are: pupils’ lack of motivation, low level, lack of vocabularies, poor background, and pupils L1 interference as well as the lack of time devoted to teach writing skill and the inefficiency of the textbook which sets only situation that do not feed pupils’ level and interests. The result revealed that these challenges are the result of difficulties pupils face while writing such as: lack of vocabularies and background, the wrong use of verb tense, prepositions, and punctuation marks. To overcome General Conclusion 86 these challenges teachers applied effective solutions that helped in enhancing pupils writing proficiency. Teachers suggested that more time should be devoted to teach writing skill and paragraph writing by planning (TD) sessions, topics must have a relation with pupils’ real life situations, asking pupils to write a summary of the lesson at the end of the session or a summary of story as a home work so that pupils’ get more familiar with the writing skill, organize the writing lesson in motivating and entertaining way like videos, visual aids, group work to motivate pupils to participate and write an effective piece of writing, provide pupils with layout of paragraph, hints, and examples to write and guide them to be interested in writing, finally encourage pupils to read more because reading consider the best solution to enhance and develop pupils writing proficiency. After the application of these solutions teachers strongly agree that pupils writing proficiency developed and pupils become able to produce a successful piece of writing which is clear and understood to the reader.
