| dc.description.abstract | This study aims at investigating the effect of explicit instruction on minimizing the negative transfer of the english prepositions: at, on and by, in the case of first year LMD students at the department of english, at Larbi Ben M'Hidi university, Oum-El-Bouaghi. for the purpose of examining our hypothesis, a quasi-experiment was conducted, in which two pre-existing groups were randomly selected as the experimental and control group. While, subjects from the experimental group received explicit explanation and description of the target structures with enough exercises and practice (explicit instruction), the control group received implicit instruction about the target structures, i.e, they were presented with different comprehensible texts containing english prepositions (at, on and by in particular). As the quasi experiment requires a pre-test was administered, in which participants were tested through a fill-in the blanks test to check their current knowledge and level in the use of the target prepositions. After the treatment period, a post-test (the same as the pre-test) was administered. The results obtained from a paired-samples and an independent-samples t test show that explicit instruction was the most significant factor in improving the learners' knowledge of the english prepositions. At the end of the research, it was concluded that there is a possibility where explicit instruction can have a more powerful and significant effect on minimizing the learners' negative transfer of the english prepositions (at, on and by). | ar |
