| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates private school EFL teachers’ practices that aim at enhancing students’ communication skills to form lifelong learners. It attempts to determine whether the teachers’ communicative practices develop students’ lifelong learning. The present work is conducted at three private schools which are Eco-mode, Ecoternel and Bridge Way World in Tizi-Ouzou, relying on Mezirow Transformative learning Theory (2000). A mixed methods approach, which combines both quantitative and qualitative methods, is used to interpret the data. As data collection instruments, we have relied on a questionnaire and interviews. On the one hand, the questionnaire is intended to twenty private school teachers. On the other hand, interviews are conducted with both teachers and students of the same schools for the sake of gathering more supports of the data collected through the questionnaires. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) is used to analyse the results gathered from the closeended questions while Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) is used to interpret the results of the open-ended questions and those reached from the interviews. The conclusion derived from this research demonstrates that teachers recognise the importance of communication for learners. Furthermore, they are aware of the relation between the communicative activities and Lifelong Learning. However, their practices do not show that they teach communication for Lifelong learning purposes. In addition to that, it is revealed that most teachers’ practices enhance learners’ communication skill but they do not lead learners to become lifelong learners. | en |
