    The Role of the Mother Tongue in Learning Foreign Languages- Current State of the Algerian Educational Institutions
    (2015-04) MAOUCHE, Salima
    It is quite amazing to tackle such a topic while integrating the Algerian educational institutions as, according to our teaching experience in different education levels (intermediate schools, secondary schools, and finally University contexts), we have always been warned by a red card to our attention to mean prohibitions and misguiding practices. It is however, worth recalling that it is through using the mother tongue that we learnt to think, to communicate and acquired intuitive understandings of grammar, of words we used for their appropriate contexts. It is therefore, time to reconsider the role the mother tongue plays in education in general and in learning and teaching foreign languages in particular. The mother tongue is without any doubt a true and great asset teachers and learners bring to the practice of foreign languages learning providing thus a language learning support system mainly when this is related to teaching and learning EFL .We must put this reality in the front position, agreeing that most of the Algerian regions, especially the North part, considers French as a mother tongue, a dilemma which needs to be thoroughly investigated and healed. We have, as an education community, to redress torts the mother tongue is used

    Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet tragedy as a content-based EFL class practices to reinforce and cement the EFL learners’ writing creativity and skill
    (Université de M'sila, 2017) MAOUCHE, Salima
    Shakespeare is undoubtedly the most famous British poet and playwright that human cultures and civilizations have ever witnessed. Although apprehended because of his complex language style, his imaginations and the harsh and rigid messages through the characters of his writings, we can however consider him as the most direct and the most reflecting playwright of human kind. He succeeded to depict the societal wounds whatever their nature was and thus teach a wealth generation about common sense, responsibility, love and determination. Furthermore, the language used, the linguistic features present in his works are therefore, a treasure bank for English language teachers and learners. However, his works are often avoided by EFL teachers as they deem it too complex for their students especially when English is taught and learnt as a foreign language. Shakespeare est sans aucun doute le poète et dramaturge britannique le plus célèbre que les cultures et les civilisations humaines ont jamais vu. Bien qu'il soit appréhendé en raison de son style de langue complexe, de son imagination et des messages rigoureux à travers les personnages de ses écrits, nous pouvons cependant le considérer comme le dramaturge le plus direct et le plus réfléchi du genre humain. Il a réussi à décrire les blessures sociétales quelle que soit leur nature et à enseigner ainsi une génération de richesse sur le bon sens, la responsabilité, l'amour et la détermination. En outre, la langue utilisée, les caractéristiques linguistiques présentés dans ses oeuvres sont donc une banque de trésorerie pour les enseignants et apprenants d'anglais.
