Item Portfolios as a means for raising students’ awareness of their oral skills’ improvement: The Case of 3rd year students in the department of English at the University of Algiers 2(University of Algiers 2 Abou El Kacem Saadallah, 2019) Abbassi, Mohamed Walid; Boukhedimi, YasmineThe purpose of this study is to investigate the oral portfolio as a means for raising Algerian EFL degree students’ awareness of their oral interaction and oral production. The study involved 12 EFL degree students from the English Department at the University of Algiers 2. Students were involved in two tasks (oral interaction and individual oral production). As Algerian EFL students needed more speaking practice in English, and also needed an unthreatening environment outside the classroom, participants in this study were required to provide three audio recordings of their oral performance in the oral interaction task and three audio recording performances in the individual oral production task. Participants’ reflections on their oral performance over the period of eight weeks may answer the research question on how the oral portfolio would raise students’ awareness of their oral skill. Audio recordings transcripts from the participants, questionnaires and interview were used to collect data.Item The Effectiveness of the Use of a Combination of Inductive Deductive Method on First Year Students in the Learning of the Past Simple and Past Perfect Simple and the Writing Performance(University of Algiers 2 Abou El Kacem Saadallah, 2019) Fellah, Naima; Boukhedimi, YasmineThe current study explores the possible effectiveness of the use of a combination of inductive-deductive method of instructing EFL students on the past simple and the past perfect simple in written discourse. The results reveal improvement in the performance of the experimental group in the learning of the target tenses in contrast to the control group. Despite this improvement, these results have proved statistically insignificant; hence, both instructional methods are equal and have the same effect on the experimental students’ learning of the target tenses in the short term. Unexpectedly, the students’ questionnaire shows that the quasi-majority of the experimental students have held positive attitudes towards learning the past simple and the past perfect simple through the use of the mixed method. The research findings also indicate the existence of a positive correlation between the experimental students’ learnt target tenses and their writing performance.
