Using Verbal Classroom Interaction Systems to Develop Oral Production Skills: The Case of Flanders System
No full textتهدف هذه الد ا رسة إلى إب ا رز أهمية العلاقة التفاعلية بين المعلم ومتعلّميه وبين المتعلّمين بعضهم مع بعض، لأنّ النجاح في عملتي التعليم والتع لّم يرتكز بدرجة كبيرة على نجاح هذه العلاقة، حيث يقتضي في بعض الأحيان إج ا رء تعديلات في الط ا رئق التعليمية القائمة، وهذا يعتمد أساسا على التفاعل اللفظي داخل الغرفة الصفية باعتباره مؤش ا ر مهما يعبر على نمط التواصل، وقد انتهجت هذه الد ا رسة منهجَ وص ف التفاعلات الصفية اللفظية وتحليلها؛ من خلال التركيز على المعاينة الميدانية المباشرة باستخدام )الفيديو( واستثمار نظام فلاندرز لقياس وتحليل التفاعل الصفي اللفظي، دون إغفال المقارنة بين النسب المرصودة وبين النسب القياسية لنموذج المعلّم المثالي، وذلك للإجابة على إشكالية مفادها: ما أثر استخدام أنظمة قياس التفاعل الصفي اللفظي في تنمية مهارة التعبير الشفوي؟ وأبرز النتائج المتوصّل إليها هو أنّ المعلّمين لا يُدركون أنّ لنشاطات الحصّة التعليمية التعلّمية توزيعا وفق نسب محدّدة لتوفير جوّ تفاعليٍّ صفيٍّ ناجح ومثمر، ودليل ذلك هو الفرق الواسع بين مجملالنسب المرصودة ميدانيا وبين النسب القياسية المُتّفق عليها، وهذا الخلل يستدعي الاهتمام بمعالجته من خلال تكوين المعلّمين وتدريبهم ميدانيا وعمليّا في ميادين كثيرة.This study aims to highlight the importance of the interactive relationship between the teacher and his learners and between the learners with each other. It sometimes requires making adjustments to the existing educational methods. This depends mainly on verbal interaction within the classroom. This study adopted the approach of describing and analyzing verbal classroom interactions. By focusing on direct inspection using (video) and utilizing Flanders’ system for measuring and analyzing verbal classroom interaction, without neglecting to compare the observed percentages with the standard percentages of the ideal teacher model to answer the problem: What is the effect of using systems for measuring verbal classroom interaction in developing the skill of Oral expression? The most prominent results reached are that teachers do not realize that the activities of the learning classroom are distributed according to specific ratios to provide a successful and fruitful classroom interactive atmosphere. The evidence for this is the wide difference between the overall ratios observed in the classroom and the agreed-upon standard ratios. This imbalance calls for attention to be addressed through teacher training practically in many fields

From Novel to Documentary Narrative : A Reading of Nineteen Syrian Women who Tell by Samar Yazbeck
No full textينبني هذا المقال على قراءة لأدب المأساة الذي نتج عن أحداث الربيع العربي من خلال كتاب "تسع عشرة امرأة" للكاتبة السورية سمر يزبك، وسنركّز النظر على مضمون النص والقالب الذي ارتأته الكاتبة لمّا تحول مسار الكتابة من الرواية إلى السّرد التوثيقي. كما سنحاول الإجابة عن أسئلة فرضها هذا النص والمؤلّفة من ورائه عن سبب إعراضها عن الرواية وترك المجال كاملاً لعدد من السّاردات اللائي عشن الحدث وعدن للتكلم عنه في حريّة ومرجعيّة. والهدف من ذلك الوقوف على أهم الفروق بين السرد كجنس عام والرواية كنوع منه، وكذا أسباب اختيار الكاتبة أو تحولها من الرواية إلى السرد التوثيقي.This article is based on a reading of the tragedy literature that resulted from the events of the Arab Spring through the book "Nineteen Women" by the Syrian writer Samar Yazbak, where we will focus on the content of the text and the template that the writer saw when she deviated from the writing path from the novel to the documentary narrative. We will also try to answer the questions imposed by this text, which is composed behind it, about the reason for its reluctance to narrate and leave the entire field to some narrators who lived the event and Aden to talk about it in freedom and reference. The aim is to identify the most important differences between narrative as a generic genre and the novel as a type of it, as well as the reasons for choosing the writer or turning her from the novel to the documentary narrative
Rhythm as a Counter-cultural Political Instrument of Empowerment in James Brown’s ‘Say it Loud, I‘m Black and I’m Proud’
Full text linkLike other art forms, the tensely-rhythmical genre of funk music has often been touted as a powerful weapon to counter race-based regimes and carry overt political messages during the tension-filled period of the civil rights movement in America. More particularly, at the end of the 1950s and the beginning of 1960s, funk music, which evolved from Rhythm and Blues, jazz and soul music, inspired the African American community to break free from the fetters of institutional racial segregation and give voice to the downtrodden black race. Funk music is typified by its powerfully-rhythmical tones which echo much dynamism and energy. The song’s strong bass lines, drumbeats, syncopated beats and the recurrent refrain all along the song: “Say it Loud, I’m Black and Proud” create rhythmic patterns that awaken black consciousness and emphasize black pride. Accordingly, that rhythm is a carrier of power is the quintessence of the present paper. It is a medium of expression that conveys life-changing thoughts. In this song, rhythm is featured as an effective strategy to re-construct the new Black identity and chart a new life wherein racial equity prevails. Brown’s rhythm-driven patterns are a prelude to a new life African Americans have long been waiting for
The Scourge of Human Capital Flight on Nigeria’s Health System
No full textThe health workforce constitutes essential component of the effective service delivery of any health system. Today, Nigeria’s health system is faced with the trajectory of human capital flight, coupled with significant number of skilled personnel migrating to other countries for greener pastures. The trajectory poses challenges to the Nigerian society and therefore deserves attention from the academic community. The article, therefore, aimed at examining the magnitude, drivers, and consequences associated with human capital flight in Nigeria’s health system. The article employs world system theory of migration, which was developed by Immanuel Wallerstein, as the theoretical framework. Regarding methodology, the article employs a secondary source of information, where the author sourced, reviewed and organized relevant articles and materials to advance the thrust of the subject matter. Findings from the existing literature reveal that the scourge of human capital flight in Nigeria has created additional burdens for the public health system, coupled with poor service delivery and health outcomes. The article, therefore, recommends a paradigm shift such that various stakeholders in the country put in place efficient measures toward mitigating the trajectory of human capital flight in Nigeria’s health system so as to respond to the health needs of the citizens

Ces interactions interculturelles sont essentielles pour élargir nos perspectives et embrasser les langues et les cultures qui les accompagnent. Dans notre société complexe et diversifiée, les réalisations individuelles sont étroitement liées à la capacité de chacun à s’assimiler à une communauté multilingue et multiculturelle. L’enseignement des langues étrangères en Algérie requiert l’acquisition d’une nouvelle aptitude: la compétence interculturelle. Cette compétence essentielle, indispensable pour manœuvrer dans un monde interconnecté, doit être intégrée en toute transparence dans l’enseignement et l’acquisition du FLE. En adoptant le principe de l’ouverture aux cultures du monde en classe de FLF, nous pouvons améliorer la manière dont le français est enseigné et appris en Algérie, en préparant les apprenants à s’engager de manière éclairée et respectueuse dans un environnement linguistique et culturel diversifié
