    The Ruling and the Ruled
    (University of algiers2 Abu El Kacem Saad Allah جامعة الجزائر 2 أبو القاسم سعد الله, 2017) NEMIR EDDOUAOUDA, Selma; BENSAFI, Zoulikha (Directeur de thèse)
    This research attempts a comparative study between E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India and Yasmina Khadra’s What the Day Owes the Night. This comparison explores separateness between the ruling and the ruled community in both novels as a major theme. The distance that separates each group from one another in Colonial India is exposed as a dramatic chasm that prevents every attempt at coexistence between the English and the Indians. Separateness in Khadra’s imagination is an allusion to escape. In other words, Forster exposes separation to emphasize the necessity of connection between the Anglo-Indians and the Indians in Colonial India. Unlike Forster, Khadra inserts the concept of separateness to reveal the idea of escape that haunts Younes and the group of pieds-noirs because all of them try to settle a new life off the sad and ambiguous past they had once survived. In fact, the Europeans of Oran strive to distance themselves from the Arabs as if they want to suppress their existence in Algeria.

    Investigating Teacher Development through Exploratory Practice in Algerian Secondary Education EFL Classes
    (University of algiers2 Abu El Kacem Saad Allah جامعة الجزائر 2 أبو القاسم سعد الله, 2017) BOUKERROU, Imane; BENSAFI, Zoulikha (Directeur de thèse)
    This study fits in the area of L2 classroom research. It attempted to address the topic of teacher-research through the framework of Exploratory Practice for teacher development in Algerian Secondary School EFL classrooms. The study had two main objectives (1) examining the significance of EP as an approach to teachers’ PD in addition to exploring the constraints encountered by the informants during their EP experiences; and (2) exploring the sustainability of doing EP over long timeframe and the factors that influenced it. Our investigation adopted a qualitative case study paradigm, thus, two qualitative research tools (semi-structured interviews and open ended questionnaires) were utilized to collect data from four teachers of English language at two different Secondary Schools in the area of Bouira. The study ran for five months consisting of the first and the second semesters of the academic year 2015/2016. All our informants participated in an EP workshop/training before they could embark on the EP project. The necessity of organizing an EP workshop/training might be justified by the fact that all our participants were unfamiliar with the concept of teacher-research when they accepted to take part in this study

    (University of Algiers 2 Abou El Kacem Saadallah جامعة الجزائر 02 أبو القاسم سعد الله, 2017) Kouider, MAKHLOUF; BENSAFI, Zoulikha (Directeur de thèse)
    This study aimed to explore the attitudes of Secondary School EFL teachers in the Western District of Chlef toward Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Algeria. Additionally, the study attempted to investigate the relationship between teachers’ attitudes and five independent variables: personal characteristics, computer attributes, cultural perceptions, computer competence, and computer access. Mixed methods research was used combining both quantitative and qualitative research methods. A questionnaire and semi-structured interview were used in order to collect the data. The findings indicated that EFL teachers held positive attitudes toward ICT in education. There were statistically significant positive correlations between teachers’ attitudes toward ICT and the five aforementioned independent variables. It was also found that Age and Academic Qualification had a negative correlation with attitudes.

    This study was conducted toinvestigate some Algerian Secondary Education English teachers’ beliefsregarding the integration of culture in ELT and their classroom practices. A questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were introduced to collectexclusively the data from fifty teachers who were teaching English at a foreign languagein BBA. We attempted to use a triangulation of more than one method to collectdata. The results obtained from the study showed these teachers had positiveattitudes to culture integration in the curriculum. The findings showed a mismatch between teachers’ definition of theobjectives of culture teaching and their actual classroom practices. We hope these findingswill contribute to a better understanding of the current practice of culture teaching in ELT and enhancethe quality of both teachers’ pre-service education and in-service training in Algeria.
