Séminaires en: Méthodologie d’Ecriture, Edition et Rédaction en Langue Anglaise
(Université de Ghardaïa, 2020-05-05)
Étant donné que l’écriture est à la fois un outil d’apprentissage, de construction de la pensée, de transmission des savoirs et de construction identitaire, le défi que représente la consolidation d’une culture académique place l’écriture universitaire au centre du processus. Dans les études supérieures, de solides compétences en lecture et en écriture s’avèrent nécessaires, voire indispensables pour le partage et la diffusion des connaissances, l’insertion dans la communauté scientifique et la mobilité éducative et professionnelle. Le développement de la compétence à produire des écrits, compétence qui permettra aux étudiants d’accéder à la culture académique et de s’insérer professionnellement dans des communautés plus larges, suppose une intervention didactique en écriture académique universitaire dans la Langue Anglaise. La pratique des ateliers d’écriture créative a véritablement sa place dans les classes d’Anglais Langue Étrangère (ALE). Mais force est de constater que les activités proposées au sein de ces ateliers portent principalement sur les apprentissages linguistiques, intellectuels et culturels de la langue. Alors, ces ateliers sont ciblés aux étudiants de la Langue Anglaise à la seine de Département d’ Anglais. L’engagement des étudiants pour montrer la motivation et attirer leur attention pour être intéresser est une des objectives de ces ateliers.

Hence, to conduct the current research, a triangulation approach was adopted, combining both quantitative and qualitative methods. The data collection process involved the distribution of a VARK questionnaire and Likert scale to a sample of 26 Second-Year middle school students to obtain an in-depth understanding of their learning styles and preferred teaching strategies. Additionally, it involved semi-structured interviews with three teachers to gain insights on their teaching strategies and to know about the teachers‟ awareness of different learning styles and their experiences in matching their teaching strategies to those styles. The findings indicated that there is a correlation between the students' preferred ways to learn and the teaching strategies that match them. Therefore, it was revealed that the visual learners learn better by implementing the visual aids such as demonstrations and charts. On the other hand, auditory learners prefer discussions and audio scripts. Also, read / write learners enjoy learning through reading instructions and taking notes. Furthermore, kinesthetic learners are fond of hands-on activities and real-world experiments. In addition to those unimodal learners, it was found that many students can be also bimodal and multimodal. However, it was noticed that the ARK learner expressed a dislike towards audio strategies. The research provides different implications for teachers as well as academic institutions.

Abstract: The study aims to investigate the discourse of two novels by the Algerian writerSEDDIK Hadj Ahmed, "" MAMLAKT AL-ZIWAN"and "CamradeRafik Elhif w Dyaa". The study aims to explore the dialogic nature of these two fictional narratives and reveal its manifestations. The goal is to understand the unique characteristics of these novels as part of contemporary Algerian literature, which is often described as constantly evolving, without strict fixed rules in its formation. The study also considers the novel as the most open to other discourses, as it evokes and interacts with them, benefiting from all genres and other texts, both ancient and modern. By placing these texts in a dialogue, the novels reveal the different languages, styles, and visions, and the multiplicity of voices, thus exposing the layers of society, its ideologies, dialects, and underlying structures. The dialogic structure of the novels is formed through hybridization, intertextuality, and dialogue, as well as through the use of popular heritage, the style of popular storytelling, the character of the narrator, and the alternation of narrative voices, each of which expresses a form of social consciousness.
