| dc.description.abstract | The present research is concerned with the evaluation of the listening sections of the Algerian third year middle school textbook My Book of English in relation to the development of the learners’ listening skill. It aims at figuring out whether the listening tasks proposed in the listening sections develop effectively the learners’ listening skill and revealing the teachers’perception of these listening tasks. This study relies on Harmer’s (2001) theoretical framework of Engage, Study, Activate teaching process and Wilson’s (2008) Listening Sequence. To this end, our investigation is based on the Mixed-Methods approach which combines both the qualitative and quantitative research methods. In fact we have used the Qualitative Content Analysis method to interpret the qualitative findings obtained from the textbook evaluation and the open-ended questions of the questionnaire. Whereas the Statistical Package for Social Sciences is used to interpret the quantitative data obtained from the close-ended questions included in the twenty-five (25) questionnaires that are distributed to middle school teachers in Tizi Ouzou. The results of the textbook evaluation and the teachers’ questionnaire have confirmed the first hypothesis which states that My Book of English contains listening tasks. Whereas, they have partially confirmed the second hypothesis which states that the listening tasks included in “I listen and do” sections effectively develop third year middle school learners’ listening skill as well as the third hypothesis which states that the listening tasks in My Book of English promote the learners’ communicative and linguistic competences. | en |
