Grammar Simplified for Fresh Students: First year EFL STUDENT'HANDOUT
(Maghnia University Centre, 2022-07-01) RABAHI, HANANE
Summary The field of grammar receives the least attention in language teaching and learning, mainly for learners whose English is a second or a foreign language. EFL learners find difficulties in applying grammar rules due to the lack of good background knowledge on grammar rules, although they totally agree that grammar tells how and why to use the language. Many scholars write about grammar, but they overcomplicate it. This is why we have thought to produce this guide, aiming to facilitate as much as possible the ways and activities for our new young students. As far as the Algerian context is concerned, teachers reinforce the learners’ grammar level from middle school; however, their level is still weak due to the lack of teaching materials that suit their needs in relation to writing skills, i.e. grammar is taught separately, while it should coordinate in its teaching with modules of writing and reading. This coursebook is designed for first-year EFL students. It contains basic lectures on English grammar, including sentence patterns, articles, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, verb classes, and tenses, which provide ample guidance and practice in sentence building that pave the way for the EFL student to write effectively in the English language. It sets the main rules that can guide the student to form sentences starting from sentence elements, mainly the subject, verb, object, and complement, for the different types of sentences. It also facilitates the way for the EFL learner to insert nouns with adjectives and adverbs to form different types of sentences. These lessons are organized into seven units. Each unit outlines the main headings that build the lectures. Each heading is reinforced with activities, even though the textbook gives a cursory account of the rules, not the activities. For this reason, the researchers do not include a unit for the key answers by the end of the lectures. This booklet provides a thorough citation of the main rules that can help the EFL learner. These rules are reinforced with explanations and examples. The examples are taken from different contexts to give a bird’s eye view of the use of English both in a daily informal setting and a formal context, i.e., bridging the gap between speech and writing. Through their research on grammar rules, EFL students may find views claiming that the grammar rules are changeable and there is a difference between rules used in informal settings, those in standard written forms, and literary texts. Learners need to know these points so that they can understand when to use the right form. It is a gratifying task to pave the way for our students by collecting the sum of our experiences and readings as teachers so that they can be put on the right path in learning the English language, hoping that this abridged guide will be found useful for beginner learners, mainly first-year EFL students.

Investigating Challenges of Implementing Task-Based Language Teaching and Generative AI with ADHD Students in Maghnia and Tlemcen Primary Schools
(University Centre Maghnia, 2026-06-26) GHERRAS Fairouz
الملخص على الرغم من أن تعلم اللغة الإنجليزية في المرحلة الابتدائية يُعدّ فرصة ذهبية، إلا أن اضطراب نقص الانتباه مع فرط النشاط يعيق عملية التعلم بسبب سماته التي تشمل قصور الانتباه، فرط النشاط، والاندفاعية، وهي سمات تؤثر سلباً على تعلم اللغة. قد أثبتت الدراسات الإمكانات الكبيرة للتدريس القائم على المهام والذكاء الاصطناعي التوليدي في معالجة الاحتياجات التعليمية المرتبطة بملف المصابين باضطراب نقص الانتباه مع فرط النشاط. غير أن معلمي اللغة الإنجليزية يواجهون تحديات عند محاولة تبنّي هذين النهجين في فصولهم الدراسية. وقد لفتت الأبحاث السابقة الانتباه إلى العقبات المتعلقة بالاضطراب ذاته، فضلاً عن الصعوبات التي يواجهها المعلمون عند تدريس التلاميذ المصابين به. لذلك، تسعى هذه الدراسة إلى استقصاء مدى انتشار التحديات البيداغوجية والسياقية المُدرَكة لدى معلمي اللغة الإنجليزية الجزائريين فيما يخص تطبيق النهجين المقترحين. كما تهدف إلى استكشاف المزايا التي قد تنجم عن سدّ هذه الفجوات، ولا سيما من منظور علم النفس والإدراك المعرفي. تعتمد الدراسة المنهج المختلط، وتتمثل أداته الكمية الرئيسية في الاستبيان المُهيكَل الذي وُزِّع على 30 معلماً للغة الإنجليزية في المرحلة الابتدائية من ولايتَي مغنية وتلمسان. أما الأداة النوعية الثانية فهي المقابلة المُهيكَلة التي أُجريت مع ثمانية أطباء نفسيين سريريين من مغنية. وقد كشفت النتائج أن المعلمين أفادوا بامتلاكهم فهماً لاضطراب نقص الانتباه مع فرط النشاط، وأنهم يُقرّون بالآثار الإيجابية للتدريس القائم على المهام والذكاء الاصطناعي التوليدي. بيد أن قدرتهم على تطبيقهما تظل مقيّدة بجملة من التحديات المُدرَكة، أبرزها: ضيق الوقت، وكبر أحجام الفصول الدراسية، وقصور المواد التعليمية في الكتب المدرسية، ووجود مستويات مختلطة داخل الفصل الواحد، إضافة إلى محدودية المعرفة بالذكاء الاصطناعي التوليدي وعدم جدوى الموارد والبنية التحتية المتاحة. علاوة على ذلك، يُبيّن الأطباء النفسيون السريريون أن دمج هذين النهجين قد يُفضي إلى تحسينات متعددة على الصعيدين النفسي والمعرفي، ولا سيما من حيث تخفيض القلق، وتعزيز الدافعية والانخراط، وتحسين استخدام اللغة التواصلية، واستقرار العبء المعرفي. وتُقدّم الدراسة جملة من التوصيات، منها: تحويل دمج التدريس القائم على المهام والذكاء الاصطناعي التوليدي إلى واقع ملموس، والمقارنة بين المهام المُولَّدة بأدوات الذكاء الاصطناعي التوليدي وتلك المصمَّمة في الفصول الدراسية التقليدية، وتقييم السمات النفسية والمعرفية Abstract Although learning English in primary school is considered as golden opportunity, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder hinders the process of learning because of its traits including inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity that all affect language learning negatively. Studies have proven the potential of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Generative Artificial Intelligence in addressing the learning needs relevant to the profile of ADHDers. However, teachers of English face challenges when attempting to adopt them in their classrooms. Previous research drew attention to the obstacles faces regarding the disorder itself along with teachers difficulties when teaching the affected pupils. Therefore, this study seeks to investigate the prevalence of perceived pedagogical and contextual challenges among Algerian teachers of English when it comes to implementing the proposed approaches. Also, it aims to explore the advantages that may result if they will be bridged, specifically from the lens of psychology and cognition. The study adopts mixed-methods mainly a quantitative research instruments which is the structured questionnaire delivered to 30 primary school teachers of English from Maghnia and Tlemcen. The structured interview is the second qualitative instrument conducted with eight clinical psychologists from Maghnia. The findings reveal that teachers reported that they possess understanding of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and they acknowledge the positive effects of Task-Based Language Teaching and Generative Artificial Intelligence . Nevertheless, their ability to implement them is restricted due to a set of perceived challenges namely time constraints, large class sizes , insufficiency of textbook material and the existence of mixed-levels within the classroom. In addition to insufficient knowledge about Generative Artificial Intelligence and unfeasibility concerning resources and infrastructure. Furthermore, clinical psychologists demonstrate that bridging these two approaches may result in multiple improvements psychologically and cognitively, especially in terms of reduced anxiety, increased motivation and engagement as well as enhanced communicative language use and stable cognitive load. The study present some recommendations including bringing Task-Based Language Teaching and Generative Artificial Intelligence integration to reality, and comparing between tasks that are generated by GenAI tools and those designed in traditional classrooms. Another recommendation is to assess psychological and cognitive traits of affected learners across distinct contexts.
