    Speaking is one of the key components of language proficiency which is attained through the integration of multiple speaking sub-skills including fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, comprehension, and grammar. Any deficiencies in these components can seriously impede one’s ability to communicate in and comprehend a language. Particularly, the lack of fluency in speaking can hinder the learner’s capacity to convey their ideas, hence impeding their overall language competency and communication efficacy. Attempting to address his issue, the current study focuses on exploring the effectiveness of using animation as a teaching tool to enhance speaking fluency among EFL learners. This animated content was represented as anime, cartoons, and animated pictures in Power-Point presentation. It is, thus, hypothesized that 1st year EFL students exposed to animation in oral sessions at L’arbi Ben M’hidi University will demonstrate a significant improvement in their speaking fluency compared to those taught without animation. To test this hypothesis, a quantitative research method was adopted. Utilizing a quasi-experimental research design, the study was conducted on a sample population that is composed of two first year EFL classes at L’arbi Ben M’hidi University. A total of 40 students have participated in this investigation. During oral sessions, the experimental group was taught via animation while the control group was taught without animation. The results showed that the experimental group scores have improved significantly after the treatment compared with the control group which was not exposed to same treatment. On the basis of the findings it is recommended to implement animation as a teaching tool to improve learners speaking fluency.

    The Effect of classmate evaluation prompts on promoting EFL learners causal chain essay writing
    (university of Oum El Bouaghi, 2016) Boulaiche, Kenza; Boulamiz, Djallel
    Investigating the effect of classmate evaluation on improving EFL learners' writing skill has been tackled by many researchers in the last few decades. These studies were based on the belief that students may enhance their writing abilities through the use of this technique; therefore, the current study is conducted to investigate the effect of classmate evaluation prompts on promoting EFL learners' 12 minutes causal chain essay writing. The study took place at the Abd Alhafid Boussouf University Center, department of English, Mila. A quasi-experimental design was used to investigate the effectiveness of this evaluation. This study enrolled a sample of thirty (30) EFL students divided into two groups, a control and an experimental group. The latter received classmate evaluation prompts using an evaluation checklist during the treatment period, while the control group followed only the traditional method of evaluation. The descriptive and inferential analyses of the results reveal a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group results. As a result, the teacher can use classmate evaluation prompts in order to evaluate students' writing skill and to enhance their writing and learning outcomes. These findings have led to some implications for teachers of Mila University and limitations that we face during this study.
