Students’ And Teachers’ Attitudes Towards The Use Of Literary Texts In Teaching Academic Writing Through Content-based Instruction( The Case Of Algerian Third-year Students In Selected Algerian Universities)

Résumé: This study demonstrates that teaching academic writing through content-based instruction using literary texts, which are taught through the integrated model, seems to be a highly effective method for helping students master the target language. The researcher used two questionnaires, administered to teachers and third-year LMD learners at three Algerian universities to investigate the extent to which teachers of academic writing in Algerian universities explore literary texts and the extent to which students and teachers are familiar with the techniques and practices derived from content based instruction and the integrated model. The findings demonstrated that both teachers and students hold positive attitudes towards the use of the target method. This study fills a research gap by focusing on the significance of literary texts as authentic and rich sources for learning academic writing in Algerian universities. The paper concludes with some suggestions and recommendations for implementing the target method.
