The Combination Of Group Work Activities And Classroom Management Techniques To Promote Students’ Learning Of English: The Case Of 2nd Year Learners In Secondary School
Résumé: This research investigates the use of classroom management techniques (CMT) to involve 2nd year learners in group work activities (GWA) in two secondary schools of Tizi-ouzou: Sahoui Aldjia in Azazga and Brothers’ Hamdi in Yakouren. It aims at accentuating the importance of GWA under an effective CM to enhance students’ learning in English foreign language (EFL) classes. It also seeks to know the students’ attitudes towards the combination of CMT and GWA. The research is based on Stevens Robert, J and Slavin Robert, E’s (1995) essential conditions of cooperative learning as well as the three major components of classroom management (CM) included in Carol Cummings’ (2000) Winning Strategies for Classroom Management. It is based on the mixed method approach. It integrates a questionnaire directed to 2nd year learners and an interview to their teachers. The study has used SPSS to analyze the quantitative data gathered from the close-ended questions of the questionnaires, and the QCA to interpret the qualitative data obtained from the open-ended questions of the questionnaire and the interview conducted with six (6) teachers. The results of the investigation indicate that the teachers use GWA to involve Students actively in the learning process as they become motivated and have positive attitudes towards this method. In fact, teachers are aware of the importance of CM to set up effective GWA. This is why they generally use some CMT to establish an appropriate learning environment. On the basis of these findings, it is concluded that GWA, especially when combined with CMT, is a very important method to make learners practice English and increase their levels of EFL
