Exploring The Impact Of Adopting A Web-Based Instructional Model In Algerian Universities

Abstract

Amidst a transformative phase in Algerian higher educational institutions, there is a notable shift in instructional methodologies and course delivery mechanisms. Embracing contemporary trends in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education, there is a growing emphasis on leveraging technological advancements to enhance teaching and learning experiences. Against this backdrop, this study endeavors to explore the efficacy of web-based learning models as a supplemental tool for delivering instructional content. Specifically, it aims to examine the implications of implementing a web-based instructional approach in English language learning and its influence on fostering communicative competence among EFL learners. Furthermore, the implemented [1]model of learning utilizes the web-based tools as a practical framework that target directing the students' communicative competence in solving tasks, achieving objectives as well as improving their 21-st century skills. For accomplishing the present work's investigation, the suggested hypotheses set forth that the web-based instructional model of English learning can be considered as an efficient model of learning that promotes the learning outcomes, self-directed learning and study skills of English language learning. Additionally, EFL learners would display positive attitudes towards the implemented model of learning. Thoroughly, the adaptation of the method and research approach sought to confirm the research hypotheses and to draw upon the research findings based on data collection tools .A case study involves 25 master 2 students and 10 teachers of English from Mascara University’s Department of English. Two research instruments were used to cross-check gathered data and validate them, a students’ questionnaire and teachers’ interview. The information gathered were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. In reference to data analysis, the findings revealed that the Web-based Instructional model is an effective model of learning which positively contributes in fostering EFL learners' communicative skills. With the various supported activities and along with the flexible learning atmosphere and methods of delivery.
