The Efficiency Of Implementing The Interpretive Perspective In Teaching English In Algeria; Case Of Middle And High School Textbooks

Authors : Betka Rezig Nadia .

Abstract

The Algerian English textbooks designed for middle and high school levels present the cultural information about the foreign language speaking communities through an interpretive perspective or a trans-cultural information using universal categories of human behavior and the learner is expected to relate and interpret the information and evaluate it. If the learner is not provided with a key to interpret phenomena with the local culture, the interpretive approach outcomes cannot be fulfilled and the learner will be introduced to much knowledge without learning a specific information.
