| dc.description.abstract | This dissertation intends to analyze the Grammar exam papers. It seeks to investigate the use of the grammar dimensions on grammar examinations of first year students in the Department of English at Mouloud Mammeri university of Tizi Ouzou. It inspects whether the grammar dimensions as concerns the form, meaning and use dimension and the use of the English language where real context situations exist are integrated in the grammar examinations. It emphasizes on the analysis of five English grammar examination papers of first year university students at the level of form, meaning as well as use dimension. The corpus of our investigation was collected and chosen from 2014 until 2016. In our investigation we relied on two diverse qualitative and quantitative research techniques and for the sake of interpreting the data, this study based on Freeman’s (2001) theory related to grammar. On the basis of the research findings, we reached that grammar examinations focus more on both form and meaning dimensions. In fact, twenty (20) of the activities correspond to both form and meaning dimensions. Additionally, eight (8) of the activities focus on form dimension, and just two (2) of the activities stress meaning dimension. The study ends with a conclusion which reveals whether the three types of dimensions are used in grammar examinations or not. Moreover, it emphasizes on the importance of using the three dimensions to join and add meaning in context because they are complementary. | en |
