    A Cognitive Contrastive Rhetoric Analysis of English and Arabic in EFL Students’ Writing
    (University of algiers2 Abu El Kacem Saad Allah جامعة الجزائر 2 أبو القاسم سعد الله, 2021) MEDJEDOUB, Rima; Hamitouche, Fatiha (Directeur de thèse)
    The present research aimed at suggesting a cognitive perspective to the Contrastive Rhetoric Hypothesis. To do so, I designed a cognitive analytical framework and identified the cognitive rhetorical patterns in 200 Arabic and English short stories written by freshmen and senior students majoring in English, atan Algerian university. The findings proved that there is a transfer of patterns from the mother tongue (Arabic) to the foreign language (English). Hence, the Contrastive Rhetoric Hypothesis is totally valid among beginners and is so to a considerable extent among the more advanced EFL learners.

    Exploring Graduate Students’ Challenges in Dissertation Writing
    (University of algiers2 Abu El Kacem Saad Allah, 2022) Benbellal, Abla; Khaldi, Kamel (directeur de thése)
    This doctoral research attempts to explore the rhetorical-structure and content-related challenges experienced by graduate students, from Blida 2 University, in writing the Master’s dissertation, along with the contributing factors to those challenges. To this end, an exploratory concurrent-nested design was adopted using various investigative methods namely: questionnaires, semi-structured follow-up interviews, and an additional in-depth document analysis of Master’s dissertations. The research findings revealed three common challenges mainly: content-related challenges, summarizing and paraphrasing issues, and language proficiency and writing issues. These challenges, according to the data gathered, were attributed to three factors which are: lack of practice in academic writing classes, lack of supervisor’s guidance, and absence of a common assessment framework.
