    (university of Oum-El-Bouaghi, 2015) Boukhari, Sarra; Guerfi, Soraya
    This present study aims at investigating the teachers' and students' attitudes towards the role of intensive reading inenhancing students' creative writing. It is an attempt to determine the relationship between reading and writing skills. Therefore, the main concern is to find out how 3rd year LMD english students develop their ability to be more creative through careful reading .On the other hand, we want to shed light on the uses of readings to carry out writing tasks, and the ways in which students go through different steps to analyze the texts and reflect that in their writings. To reach such aim, two questionnaires were administered to both teachers and students from the department of english at Larbi Ben M'Hidi university. The students' questionnaire was given to third year students of english chosen randomly from four groups of science language during the academic year 2014/2015. Teachers' questionnaire was addressed to eleven written expression teachers to check their responses concerning their students' ability to do an analytical reading of different texts to benefit from it in writing different genres. The results obtained from both questionnaires in this research confirmed positively the hypothesis that intensive reading contributes in enhancing EFL students' creative writing. They also revealed that there is an undeniable influence of depth reading on the students' creativity and quality of writings that goes far beyond academic writing.

    " Sometimes a shift makes me remember " deplacement, identity, and religion in Leila Aboulela's Minaret
    (university of Oum El Bouaghi, 2016) Boukhari, Sarra; Achiri, Samya
    Literature of migration is a continuous chain of vivid literary representations of migrant's day-to-day life. It speaks up the minorities voices. Captivatingly, muslim contributions to this field cannot be denied or excluded. This dissertation, accordingly, attempts to analyze Leila Aboulela's Minaret (2005) in a way that evokes culture, identity, and religion for the sake of finding migrants' lost identity after being a subject to displacement effects. The objective of this study, thus, is to question the reality behind the process of the cultural change expressed in the novel and its outcomes on muslim migrants. It investigates the role of an 'exotic' cultural setting in defining migrants' identity and religion. At this level, culture, society, economy, and politics would be approached comparatively between Migrants' place of departure and place of arrival. To get to this point, this research will be divided into three chapters. The first chapter highlights 'migration literature', under which Minaret is perfectly located, in relation to arab muslim cultural settlement in the West. The second extracts the different instances of displacement and its two-ways of influence on muslim communities. It also tries to approach minaret from a cultural materialist view to understand the process of change. The last tackles the religious identity under the examination of (dis)placement and migration. This will throw light on the beneficial integration that muslim migrants may embrace to achieve what they lacked in their homelands. Finally, reading aboulela's minaret in the context of this research suggests a more comforting, reliable, and practical solution for grasping the good effects of (dis)placement and opens the way for other researches on this positivist tendency in predicting the future of islam and muslims in Europe.
