| dc.description.abstract | This study is an attempt to investigate the EFL students’ attitudes toward using Instagram Reels for developing listening and speaking skills in the Department of English at the Universty of Mouloud Mammeri of Tizi Ouzou . To achieve this, Cary Jewitt’s (2013) Theory of Multimodality has been adoptedas theoretical framework. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data collection involved distributing a questionnaire to 50 randomly selected L1-level students and analyzing a corpus of five selected Instagram Reels using a checklist evaluation adapted from Yazdanmehr and Shoghi (2014) visual criteria and Orwig’s (2013)self-assessment checklist for listening and speaking; incorporating additional multimodal elements from Jewitt’s (2013) framework. The data were then analyzed using descriptive statistical method and qualitative content analysis, along with multimodal analysis for the Reels. According to the obtained results, students have a positive attitude toward using Instagram Reels to develop their listening and speaking skills. They find it beneficial and believe it facilitates their language-learning journey. In particular, the Reels expose learners to different accents and pronunciations, enhancing their language comprehension, and thereby improving their listening and speaking skills. Additionally, the combination of visuals, audio, and text in the Reels significantly contributes to their language-learning process. Finally, the findings also show that multimodality positively impacts students’ language-learning, particularly their listening and speaking proficiency. | |
