Abstract... Culture and language have been considered to be strongly linked to each other, this comes from the fact that language is not a code free from culture. The present study aims to investigate the EFL Libyan teachers' attitudes and opinions towards the integration of the target cultural information within the teaching process. It also attempts to shed the light on the challenges that teachers think they may encounter in order to teach cultural information. On one hand, it is important to establish whether teachers contemplate teaching culture alongside with the target language, and on the other hand, to know if the knowledge of cultural references and culture related issues or aspects contributes to cultural awareness. The participants of the study are 21 lecturers who teach English as a foreign language (EFL) at the English departments in two colleges of Misurata University. Questionnaire and semi structured interviews are used to collect data. Findings show that the majority of EFL teachers hold a positive attitude towards teaching culture. Moreover the results of the interviews reveal some challenges from the teachers' opinions that may be encountered when integrating the target culture in their classrooms.
Abstract... This study aimed at identifying Libyan teachers' views regarding the use of songs in teaching English to young learners, and recognizing the challenges they might encounter and how they use songs in the classes. The data were collected by distributing an online questionnaire to 65 Libyan teachers, working in a number of primary schools where English was being taught as a foreign language.

The findings showed that the majority of the teachers recognized the pedagogical value of using songs in teaching English to young learners and. However, the lack of resources, and additional effort in selecting suitable songs might cause several potential problems the teachers might concern.

Finally, it was recommended that it was important to integrate songs in the teaching process, and use modern educational approaches to teach foreign languages to young learners.

Abstract... Cette étude vise à comprendre l’effet des représentations sociales sur le processus d'apprentissage et d'enseignement de la grammaire française. Ces représentations se traduisent chez l’apprenant à travers ses attitudes et comportements envers les activités et les tâches à accomplir. Par conséquent, cette étude cherche à explorer le rôle que les technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) peuvent jouer dans la modification des représentations sociales des étudiants du département de français à l'Université Nationale An-Najah. Pour atteindre les objectifs de cette recherche, les chercheurs adoptent une approche quantitative en distribuant un questionnaire exhaustif à la fin du cours hybride sur une période de quatre semestres. Ce questionnaire, auquel répondent 110 étudiants, explore les perceptions liées à l'utilisation des TIC dans le développement de la motivation, de l'autonomie et de la performance des apprenants. Les résultats révèlent le rôle positif de cette modalité d’enseignement dans l’enrichissement de l’environnement pédagogique et l’accroissement d’un sentiment d’efficacité face aux difficultés classiques d’acquisition de la grammaire d’une langue étrangère.
Abstract... Thomson (1996) claims that we are born self-directed learners. Each one knows how to take charge and be in control of learning. Regarding writing, the self-monitoring (SM) technique is designed to help students apply that critical ability to their written compositions by giving learners control over the feedback they receive. Students read their writing and examine it critically, finding and correcting their own mistakes to enable teachers to provide effective feedback. Therefore, this study presents this technique as a valuable way of increasing autonomy in learning writing skills and improving writing proficiency. The focus of the study is to investigate if upper-intermediate and advanced students at University- can effectively use the SM technique and improve their writing. The results were quite different from the claim that learners can be trained to use SM in their writing effectively. The participants showed overwhelmingly unimpressive insights towards using SM, and that was due to the short-term training on how to use annotations efficiently in their compositions.
Abstract... This study aims to examine the EFL (English Foreign Language) Libyan teachers' attitudes towards the utilization of Arabic in their classrooms, and also the advantages and disadvantages of the first language use. In addition, It seeks how it may impact the students' learning abilities for language learning. For this purpose, two research questions were created for this investigation. A questionnaire was used which is adapted from Schweers (1999), to measure the attitudes of the teachers. The findings indicated that the use of Arabic is beneficial and useful for school students in Libya, and that Arabic plays a significant pedagogical and psychological roles in teaching and learning English. However, some limitations of Arabic use are desirable. Also, the findings revealed that the use of Arabic has positively affected Libyan learners. Based on this research, Libyan learners who are taught by employing Arabic in their classrooms appear to be more motivated, confident, less stressed and are becoming autonomous learners.
