Didactique de l’écrit

Abstract
En classe de français, les activités de production écrite posent beaucoup de problèmes aux enseignants puisque ces activités sont à la fois des moments d’aboutissement et de réinvestissement qui convoquent toutes les corrélations didactiques liées aux pré-acquis. L’acte d’écrire demeure un acte très difficile et la didactique de cette activité semble être protéiforme, cet article esquisse cette problématique en conjuguant les assises théoriques et les dimensions praxéologiques: « Écrire est une “conduite qui consiste à frayer un chemin, pour démêler une sorte de chaos, à mettre en marche une machine qui ne sert qu’à repousser, à défaire pour faire, “défaire toujours au nom de ce qui reste à faire”, (…). Travail qui engendre des œuvres, mais qui est lui-même une sorte de roman, celui d’une genèse ».

Ethics of Globalization, Exploring a Universal Ethics

View PDF
Abstract
Modern societies are no longer isolated and self-sufficient, they have to rely on constant interchange with others who are sometimes radically different. Globalization is a process by which we are permanently confronted with moral choices and the need to reconcile contradictory requirements. Within the framework of several ethical theories and considering that ethical principles are universal, where do the ethics of globalization stand and what are the distinguishing features of global ethics when compared with individual ethics and national ethics? Is it possible to reconcile a universal ethical theory with the dominant economic theory based on utilitarianism and the maximization of the utility function? Is it necessary to substitute the utility function with another that includes new ethical principles? Or is it possible to change the utility function in such a way that it reflects an ethics based on virtue, duties and affections instead of the utilitarian ethic? Or does a new ethic of globalization imply a new economy and a new economic theory? Is it a utopian ethic, or, on the contrary, the Ethic of the Future? How to humanize the global market? In this paper an attempt been made to analyze and understand the ethics of globalization within the framework of a universal ethics.

La violence verbale dans le discours politique marocain

View PDF
Abstract
At the origin of our questioning, we started from the general postulate according to which the so-called violent political discourse, with a dominantly conflictual character, can only function in a situation of social tension in which the use of violent, even insulting, forms of language towards the adversary, which are commonly repudiated, can be completely licit and legitimate. To this end, we set out to pursue this questioning through a new corpus study, fuelled by an interdisciplinary approach. Certainly, the desire to study a political discourse fully anchored in a climate of crisis implies a dialectical reasoning. This dialogical interactivity emphasizes, on the one hand, the potentiality of language slides to function as a pre-existing social fact, having the ability to represent it and to grasp it in its complexities, its richness and its weaknesses, and on the other hand, the predominance of the discursive context and its irreversible impact on discursive productions that allow us to rethink the social haunted by the interests of political action, its vitality and volatility. Thus, the violent Islamist discourse seems to lose its oppositional and revolutionary character to become a domesticated Makhzenian party in the same way as other competing parties. Being aware of the complexity of language as a vector of power and revealing various realities inherent in discursive productions, with the observation of their correlations and general principles on which the discursive strategies specific to a type of discourse (political discourse) and a genre of discourse (political discourse qualified as violence), it is incumbent to summarize its results, to bring together its main conclusions and to draw the general balance sheet (based on what seems to us to be constitutive).

Le discours politique des islamistes marocains au pouvoir : le discours populiste

View PDF
Abstract
At the end of this chapter entitled "Conflictual affective discourse", the study focused on a number of legitimising discursive strategies mobilised by Benkirane. In fact, the discourses that we have tried to analyse are part of a context marked by a social tension unseen in the history of Morocco (after the Arab Spring). These social realities, marked by a tension, or even a calculation of ideological repositioning between Islamists, communists, socialists, technocrats, etc., are, from the sociolinguistic interactional point of view, manifest in the discourse where the speaker seeks to impose his identity. This observation has led us to set up a typology that better defines this conflictual context, hence the interest in the grid developed by Windisch, whose author insists considerably on the internal functioning of a conflictual discourse produced in a situation of tension. All the studies aimed at analysing legitimating discourse agree on two fundamental points: on the one hand, discourse is perceived as a linguistic production anchored in symbolic relations of force, negotiation, manipulation and persuasion between individuals, on the other hand, in order for each of them to achieve their objectives, the social actor is confronted with certain constraints in order to convey the meaning he or she aims for. In addressing the issue of dramatization in the so-called populist discourse, Patrick Charaudeau insists considerably on the affective dimension in the interaction with the mass..

Abstract
The purpose of this research is to examine the textual and structural sequence of a musical piece called Religious Cacophony, which is a merger of Christian chorale and Islamic chant. The musical piece, which is based on the musical play 'Pathway to Peace,' is a creative approach to conflict resolution. The Cacophony depicts a tense battle between two religious sects in the midst of a crisis. Despite the fact that the piece is in a modern African arts framework, it employs both Western and African compositional techniques, as evidenced by the rhythm, vocal, and instrumental lines. The importance of the study is due to the numerous obstacles that musicologists face when examining songs with complex features. As the composition follows the documentary side, the study employs historical, survey, and analytical methodologies. The outcomes of the study show that when diverse types of music are properly quantized, they can be merged and blended in harmony, and that even if the composition is complex, there is a high chance of form prediction. The piece is written in Arabic and English, with an African and Western flavor to the instrumental portion. In addition, the main melody is an excerpt from G. F. Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, Holly Holy from the SS&S Hymnal, and Allah Ku hak'ubar, a Popular Chant from the Muslim prayer. According to the findings, the composition is constructed on a through-composed foundation that includes both vocal and instrumental material.

Gender, Education and Cultural Values

Abstract
This paper focuses on ways we can educate children to cultivate social and cultural values at home, school and in the wider society bearing in mind the gender of the children. It discusses the concept of cultural values and examines the reduced emphasis given to it in the basic education curriculum. Undoubtedly the home/family should play the foundational role in the task of planting and nurturing cultural values in the lives of children. Parents, guardians and significant others are expected to play the roles through personal examples, direct instructions, use of wise sayings and proverbs, storytelling, morning devotions, rewards for good behaviours, mutual support to/from schools, active participation of children in religious and extra-curricular activities in schools, parental censorship of the company their children keep at home and in school, provision at home of value-oriented literature books, among others. In our formal and non-formal educational institutions, values need to be deliberately taught to cultivate generations of disciplined citizenry. Formal educational institutions need to teach values through direct institution, discussion of value-oriented issues, role-play /drama/simulations, group work, projects, use of film strips/slides, individual tasks/self-study and research, etc. Teachers state affective educational objectives but hardly teach for their attainment because such objectives are hardly examinable with paper-pencil tests among other reasons. The wider society can hardly teach children sound moral values largely due to contradictions between precepts and practices. The place of gender in the educative process was treated with appropriate recommendations made on the way forward.

Abstract
This study adopted documentary review method to examine how Plato’s philosophy of education is applicable to teaching methodology in Tanzania secondary schools. A total of 89 published articles, books, and reports from electronic databases, conference proceedings, and selected electronic journals were reviewed. The study discovered After seeing Plato's contribution to the philosophy of education in Tanzania, it was discovered that for him (Plato), education is not what some people call - putting knowledge into souls that lack it, similar to putting sight into a blind eye. The review revealed that knowledge, like vision, necessitates the presence of an organ capable of receiving it. As a result, according to Plato, education is a matter of conversion, a complete shift from the world of appearances to the world of reality. It is a spiritual conversion.' According to Plato, the power of sight is not imparted to the soul's eye, which already possesses it, but rather to ensure that, rather than looking in the wrong direction, it is turned in the right direction. Furthermore, Plato's philosophy of education aims to prepare students for their future lives. Plato believed that without education, an individual would make no more progress than a patient who believed he could cure himself with his loving remedy without giving up his luxurious way of life. The review goes on to say that education should be divided into sections based on the ages of children and adults. This implies that educators in Tanzania should teach what children can understand at various ages. In addition, when it comes to the use of curriculum in formal education, each section or division must have a curriculum and syllabus comprised of subjects appropriate to the age and situation of the society

It is seen as fundamental skill to learn in the classroom that aims at teaching language [1]. The main purpose of reading is to comprehend the new subjects. Many students at the universities face some difficulties when dealing with comprehending. In this study, the researchers have investigated how Micro Selection (MS) improved the „achievements‟ related to English reading comprehension of Iraqi college students. This investigation was limited to the 2nd-year students from the English department at Imam AL-Khadum college, Baghdad, Iraq, during their current academic year (2022-2023). For fulfilling all the objectives of this study, the researchers hypothesised that there was no significant difference between the average scores of the „achievements‟ of Group 1 students who used Micro Selection (i.e., finding key words and main ideas) and Group 2 students who employed the conventional reading techniques. In order to test the two hypotheses, the researcher chose a sample of (82)students in their second year in English department at Imam AL-Khadum college in Baghdad for the second half of academic year 2022-2023.Theresearchers selected the population sample randomly and then categorised them into 2 groups. Group 1 or the Experimental group included the students who used the Micro Selection technique, while Group 2 or the Control group included the students who did not use this technique. The numbers of the students in the experimental group are (32) and the control group (32). After the experiment has ended, the researcher conducted an achievement test in reading comprehension to check students' achievements before and after. A t-test formula is employed for the two groups' results. The results of this study highlighted the statistically significant differences between the average scores of the above groups. It was noted that the students in the experimental group showed a higher score compared to those in the control group.

Abstract
The higher education system is very essential to the country's entire growth, including industrial, social, and economic development. India's higher education system is the world's third largest and the word "democracy" comes from two Greek words: "demos" (meaning "people") and "kratos" (meaning "power"). As a result, we might argue that democracy refers to the people's power. The term "democracy" is no longer limited to a specific definition of government, social structure, or economic situation, rather, it is now seen as a way of life. Education and Democracy are intimately connected. To make education more effective, meaningful, relevant, and beneficial, democratic values are implemented. Individuals, on the other hand, can only learn about human rights and responsibilities through education. As a result, we might conclude that democracy and education are mutually dependent. Decentralization of power and education go hand in hand in a country like India. The huge demographic extend calls for this division whereby we can have better excess and quality education. The huge population brings about inequality in terms of gender, caste and religion. The dominance of majority over minority is often felt in a country like India. Thus, when government use approaches like decentralization of education a better education system with better access and quality is aimed and ensured. This approach to education brings vertical development in society. Although much more is yet to achieve to bring out the best results in decentralization of education. This study investigates how the Government, policymakers, local community members, teachers, and families can all play a major part in making decentralization of education a success. We need to improve teaching pedagogy and establish connections between research and teaching to strengthen the higher education system. This is important not only for economic progress, but also for social cohesion and the empowerment of the country's future. This paper also discussed the current status of higher education in India as well as the issues that it faces

La Dimension Valorielle et Axiologique dans l’enseignement de Français au Cycle Secondaire Qualifiant : Le modèle Marocain

View PDF
Abstract
Cet article tente d’esquisser la manière avec laquelle l’enseignement de français au Maroc conçoit la dimension valorielle et axiologique. Cet enseignement qui se fait par le truchement des œuvres intégrales et textes littéraires pose énormément de problèmes aux praticiens qui livrés à eux-mêmes et en l’absence d’une formation didactique efficiente essaient d’improviser des didactisations engluées le plus souvent dans des approches fantaisistes et des mises en œuvre hasardeuses. Dans ce cas de figure, notre article propose quelques réflexions et quelques pistes susceptibles de mieux cerner cette problématique.

L’intégration des Compétences de vie et de Citoyenneté dans le Curriculum marocain : Théorisation et Stratégies de mise en Œuvre

View PDF
Abstract
The global COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak overwhelmed the world in 2020. The unprecedent pandemic situation, elicited by the invisible virus SARS-CoV-2 shattered people‟s usual benchmarks and representations of reality. Storytelling proliferates in times of crisis because this universal phenomenon allows people to structure the shapeless reality via meaning-making processes, and therefore to cope with the collective upheaval that represents the COVID-19 outbreak. The current research aims to investigate the storytelling underpinning the social construction of the invisible virus, conveyed by written and oral narratives of older adults. The automatized qualitative data analyses of older adults‟ written narratives (N = 144) demonstrated that the virus represents serious danger of sickness which arouses negative emotional reactions and the duality between life and death. The analyses of older adults‟ oral narratives (N = 26) demonstrated that their storytelling tend to anchor the biological functioning of the virus, which remains a mystery and a source of various fears, fantasies and fascinations. Furthermore, the “war metaphor” and martial rhetoric that emerged in the storytelling of older adults indicate a shared pool of knowledge that resonates in line with COVID-19 mass media and political storytelling in France. Indeed, older adults„ storytelling is anchored within specific spatio-temporal dimensions, as every extreme situation occurs within a particular time and space. Thus, the storytelling of a virus, that should be apprehended as a journey of meaning, demonstrates a hidden coherence and collectively shared base of COVID-19 narratives

Study of The Labor Relations of University Students During Their Internship

View PDF
Abstract
The labor relationship between the internship student and the internship company has long been unclear in law and has been the subject of much debate in academic circles. In the course of their internship, university students have established a special, de facto labor relationship with the company, but this relationship is skewed by the absence of law. Therefore, the internship system for university students needs to be regulated at the legal level. The establishment of a multi-party negotiation mechanism to enhance the bargaining position of university students, the improvement of the work injury insurance treatment of university students in internships to avoid the relevant risks, and the regulation of the management of labor contracts during university students' internships to clarify the rights and responsibilities of all parties have become a necessary part of enhancing the employability of university students.
