Efl Teachers'attitudes Towards Language Learning Stretegies Integration

Résumé: Foreign language learning strategies are specific actions, behaviors and techniques students use, often consciously, to improve their progress in apprehending, internalizing, and using the language. When taught effectively, learning strategies are proved to increase learners’ level of language proficiency. It is important for teachers to believe in the effectiveness of these factors in order to integrate them effectively. The present study aims at investigating the perceptions and attitudes of EFL teachers towards the integration of language learning strategies. It is hypothesized that language learning strategies would be integrated and taught effectively if teachers had positive attitudes towards these strategies. The hypothesis was examined through a questionnaire administered to teachers at the department of English, Jijel University. The results revealed that teachers are aware of the significant role language learning strategies play and the benefits of their integration. In addition, teachers show their readiness to train their learners and to receive any training on how to integrate and teach language learning strategies. Therefore the hypothesis was confirmed in that teachers need to develop positive attitudes towards language learning strategies so as to integrate them effectively
