| dc.description.abstract | present thesis, consisting of two chapters, aims to investigate the sociocultural barriers in communication encountered by Master 1 EFL learners majoring in Linguistics at M’sila University. The social cultural background of Master 1 EFL students holds paramount importance in this research. Therefore, these factors are examined from a sociocultural perspective to identify these elements and propose solutions for learners to improve their communication abilities. The study was conducted following a mixed method design incorporating both qualitative and quantitative data to add meaning to the collected numerical data as well as to provide a wide range of insights from participants perspectives and experiences. The instrument employed to collect primary data is semi structured questionnaire. It was administered to 37 participants. This study utilized a non probability sampling technique to select the participating students based on their representativeness, relevance, and accessibility. The findings of this study confirm that Master 1 EFL learners encounter sociocultural barriers while communicating such as reduced social interactions, exposure, and practice, as well as, diminished problem solving skills, less motivation, and limited progress. | |
