"discourse On Reading, Writing: Analysis Of Algerian Students' Sociocultural Representations In Learning A Foreign Language"

Authors : Brakni Dalila .

Abstract

If we adopt the teaching/learning approach centered on the learner we must start with learners and their actual attitudinal and conceptual background. Their attitudes, beliefs and values about reading/writing and the reading and writing learning process influence their approaches to learning a foreign language. The present paper is based on the observation of Algerian undergraduates learning ‘academic English’. It examines the nature, role sources and effects of their representations which are broadly sociocultural. It will also examines the methodological difficulties met while gathering and analysing learners' discourse.
