(جامعة الوادي - university of Eloued, 2022-03-30) Ghedeir, Brahim Mohammed; Naoua, Mohammed
English language writing is a complex, time-consuming activity that requires concentration, effort, and persistence. In line with the advancements in language teaching, teaching English writing has its own approaches, namely the product, process, and genre approaches. Genre-based approach is considered to be a solution to writing deficiencies by making provision for the social aspect of writing including English varieties and conventional lexico-grammatical practices. However, the contribution of genre-based approach in enhancing EFL writers` writing performance is still under question. Thus, the present study aims to investigate the impact of genre-based instruction on EFL students` writing proficiency. The research setting was the written expression course for second year students of English at the University of El-Oued, Algeria. The participants in the study were sixty (60) students who practiced writing two different genres of writing: the paragraph and the essay. The findings of the study revealed that genre-based instruction has a positive impact on EFL learners` writing performance.

(جامعة الوادي - University of Eloued, 2022-06-03) Naoua, Mohammed; Ghedeir, Brahim Mohammed
This study attempts to explore the role of pragmatics in reinforcing the process of discourse production and comprehension. The paper starts with the delimitation of the scope of pragmatics and the identification of its main constituents, such as implicature, presupposition, speech acts, the context of situation, reference, deixis, and entailments. Then, it turns to the description of the way in which pragmatics has gradually been incorporated in three significant communicative competence models. In doing so, this paper incorporates the techniques of the historical-descriptive methods. The results of the study revealed that the integration of pragmatic elements in language analysis/teaching could contribute to the comprehension of speaker's/writer's implicated meaning.
