Designing an Interactive Self Instructional
(University of algiers2 Abu El Kacem Saad Allah جامعة الجزائر 2 أبو القاسم سعد الله, 2018) Lahdir, Sakina; Khaldi, Kamel (Directeur de thèse)
Our research is related to e-learning and to action-research. In this respect, we were concerned with the existing problems related to the teaching/learning of the current classroom-based course of English at the University of Science and Technology Houari Boumediene (USTHB). The present research is thus aimed to explore the need for the design of an online course of English for science and technology, to be a complementary solution to the face-to-face course given the fact that the latter has shown limitations in the Algerian context and that new needs for change are necessary. This led us to carry out a needs analysis assessment. We obtained relevant information such as the students’ learning needs. We hence opted for an action research based on the use of the learning environment MOODLE, an eclectic approach, and evaluation criteria. We subsequently developed two courses, one related to biology and the other to computer science some units of which have been piloted on the university’s platform. They may be refined and used in business English.
Integrating Mobile-based Activities in Teaching Listening and Speaking Skills to EFL Degree Students at Algiers University
(University of algiers2 Abu El Kacem Saad Allah جامعة الجزائر 2 أبو القاسم سعد الله, 2021) Bouzidi, Amina; Souryana, Yassine (Directeur de thèse)
Mobile devices are regarded as multimodal and multimedia resources that support mobile-based instruction through multimodal representation. Due to these aspects, the present study is an attempt to investigate the effectiveness of using Mobile-assisted Language Learning (MALL) on developing listening and speaking skills of first year EFL degree students at Algiers 2 University. The study focused on how the researcher orchestrated the digital resources during classes to develop EFL degree students' listening and speaking skills. Hence, we hypothesized that students who use mobile devices will show better oral/ aural performance than their peers who do not use them in their listening and speaking skills learning process. To achieve the study aims, a mixed- methods approach was adopted
Investigating EFL High School Algerian Teachers’ Views about Method-based Pedagogy and their Conceptions of Research
(University of algiers2 Abu El Kacem Saad Allah جامعة الجزائر 2 أبو القاسم سعد الله, 2021) Benamer, Ibtissam; Bouzar, Siham(Directeur de thése)
This small-scale study tries to investigate the views and attitudes of Algerian EFL high school teachers towards the usual claims about method and their awareness of the significance of research as an alternative to method. The concept of method prompts my interest for it is the aspect dominating the language classroom, yet teachers seem skeptical of its usefulness in addressing classroom practice. In addition, classroom realities trigger my attention to the notion of research as a potential alternative. In fact, many educationists have been interested in this area of research and they emphasize that a change is necessary. Four research questions were raised around a major one to address these issues and two research tools were used: teachers' questionnaire and inspectors' interviews. A sample of twenty-two Algerian EFL high school teachers from different places was randomly chosen to respond to the questionnaire, and the interviews were conducted with four EFL high school inspectors from three different districts in Algeria to try to have an idea about distinct places. The analysis of the results revealed that the participant teachers do not fully believe in method, which paired up their assertion regarding the absence of a best method. In addition, the participants show a moderate level of reading academic research, which they think, partly promotes their professional development. As for teachers' voices in designing ELT, the participant teachers are rarely invited to take part in such decisions. And inspectors revealed that the reform is made by specialized committees; mainly university teachers. Concerning conducting research, the sample showed a moderate attitude towards being research-engaged. They welcome the role of teachers as researchers though they appear to be lost about how this will work in practice. The findings also revealed that learners are better engaged in the research process being partners in the teaching/learning process. The contribution of this study might be knowledge-increasing in the sense that they highlight EFL Algerian high school teachers' views of the usual claim about method and expand the research to news areas; the move towards a more teacher -research approach as an alternative
