An Investigation Of Target Culture Teaching In The Oral Expression Classroom: A Probe Into Culture-specific Techniques And Strategies

Résumé: The present research started from an existing validated problem which reveals that some target cultural aspects are neglected in the second year oral classrooms at Mohamed Lamine Debaghine University, Setif 2. Hence, it aims at exploring the perceptions of second year oral teachers towards target culture integration, the problems teachers face when integrating it along with the techniques and the strategies they generally use for such purpose. A semi-structured interview- analyzed using the thematic approach and a questionnaire were designed to answer this work’s research questions about the teacher’s perceptions towards target culture integration and the techniques they use in their oral classrooms for this aim. The results obtained showed that although all the teachers were aware of the importance of target culture integration and held a supportive perception towards its integration; they did not integrate it explicitly using culture-specific techniques and strategies. Ultimately, a number of practical implications were suggested to give possible solutions to the issue under scrutiny
