Abstract
The present research aims to investigate the role of re-teaching and re-testing in enhancing EFL pupils‟ achievement in both “Si Abd Allah” and “Khames Ali” middle schools of Tizi- Ouzou. This dissertation is mainly concerned with the pupils across the fourth-year level of study with their EFL teachers. The objectives of this study are to investigate the re-teaching and re-testing activities teachers use in English classes to develop EFL pupils‟ skills. It also strives to explore EFL pupils' attitudes towards re-teaching and re-testing stressing the extent to which they believe these activities improve their English skills. In order to meet the objectives of this study, „Mastery Learning Theory‟ proposed by S. Benjamin Bloom (1971) is applied. A mixed-methods approach is adopted in this research as the main methodology for both data collection and data analysis. To collect the data. Seventy-seven questionnaires were administered to the pupils and six classroom observations were conducted with their teachers. The findings indicate that teachers in both schools implement effective re-teaching and re-testing activities in English classes including small group sessions, audio visual aids, academic games, individual tutoring, textbooks, with homework and extracurricular activities to develop their pupils‟ English skills. In addition, the results, show that EFL pupils perceive re-teaching and re-testing as highly effective strategies that have helped them to improve their achievements and competences. Finally, it can be concluded that incorporating re-teaching and re-testing strategies contribute to the enhancement of EFL pupils‟ achievements and mastery as well.
