More specifically, the study had two main objectives: firstly, to examine the impact of using the brainwriting strategy on writing proficiency, and secondly, to gauge the learners’ perspectives on the major difficulties they face in writing tasks and their opinions on the utility of the brainwriting strategy. Thus, it was hypothesized that implementing the brainwriting strategy would lead to improved writing skills among the learners.

The present research work examined the influence of intercultural communicative competence on the comprehension of English idioms among second-year English students. Specifically, it aimed to determine the source of difficulties in understanding idioms, provide insights into which aspects pose a greater challenge for English students, and examine the effect of the existing intercultural communicative competence on the process of idiom comprehension. Theoretically, it was hypothesized that there is a correlation between students’ intercultural communicative competence and their idiom comprehension process Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT http://dspace.univ-jijel.dz:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/13497 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.univ-jijel.dz:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/16496 Investigating Students’ Procrastination in EFL Writing BOUKABOUR, Chada; ZITOUNI, Nesrine; CHAIBEDDRA, Samira( supervised) The present research work attempted to investigate students’ procrastination in EFL writing by quantifying the extent to which they delay their writing tasks and identifying the common factors contributing to this behaviour. It also sought to shed light on some possible solutions to overcome this problem. This descriptive study involved 74 third-year students and their teachers of Written Expression at the Department of English, University of Jijel. The quantitative approach was adopted in this study and the data were collected using two questionnaires. The student questionnaire contained an adapted version of the Tuckman Procrastination Scale (1991). The Tuckman Procrastination Scale was mainly employed for assessing academic procrastination in general, but it was altered in the student questionnaire to particularly measure procrastination in writing Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT http://dspace.univ-jijel.dz:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/16496 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.univ-jijel.dz:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/16495 An Evaluation of Cultural Component in Reading Texts of Fourth Year Primary School English Textbook from the Perspective of Critical Pedagogy Benguessoum, Amira; Ladjeroud, Razika; Boukezzoula, Mohammed( supervisor) This study evaluates the cultural content of Algerian fourth-year English as Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks at the primary school level using critical approaches in applied linguistics and critical pedagogy. Critical Pedagogy (CP) views education as a social process aimed at liberating individuals through Conscientization, primarily achieved through dialogue. The primary focus is on assessing how effectively the cultural components within the "My Book of English" textbook promote cultural awareness and reflection from a critical pedagogy perspective. The study addresses the main question: How effective are the cultural components in fostering cultural awareness and reflection in the reading texts of "My Book of English"? Additionally, it explores five sub-questions. To answer these, a checklist based on Kouira's (2021) criteria was used for textual analysis Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT http://dspace.univ-jijel.dz:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/16495 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z
