Abstract
Cognitive structures are the basic mental processes people use to make sense of
information. In a language classroom setting, learners use those mental processes to
understand academic content and create output that reflects what has been perceived
and learnt. However,one issue teachers can ecounter is that when they present a very
well organized, suitable lesson, they wonder why some learners ‗get it‘ and others do
not.In effect, in order for language learners to be proficient , teachers can help
them develop their intellectual capacity so they can meet the academic experience
with success. To fulfill this aim, students need cognitive strategies to fully
understand and construct meaning from their experiences. Hence, the purpose of
the present paper is to shed some light on teachers‘ perspectives, standpoints and
ways they adoptd to help students foster their cognitive capacities when learning a
foreign language at the depatment of Letters and English Language, University of
Frères Metouri Constantine. The analysis of the teachers questionnaire yielded
valuable information obout different issues connected to instruction, learning and
learners cognitive capacities. These information would help us understand better the
teaching learning processes and so offer possible solutions and recommandations for
future use.
