Abstract
The study aims at investigating the effect of using mnemonic namely image mnemonic technique on improving EFL students' past tense learning. To check the validity of our hypothesis, a quasi-experimental design was conducted with third year LMD students of the Arabic language department at Larbi Ben M'Hidi university during the school year 2014-2015, in which two existing groups are randomly assigned as the experimental group and control group, each group consisted eighteen students (18). The participants of each group were pre-tested through a fill in the gaps task. After that, they received the treatment during a period of three weeks. Whereas, the control group received the past tense instruction without using any mnemonic technique. Then, the participants were post-tested through the same task used in the pre-test. The results of the study reveal that the alternative hypothesis is confirmed.
