| dc.description.abstract | The overall aim of this research is to investigate EFL teachers’ perception of private tutoring sessions they provide for EFL primary third-year pupils. The current study also seeks to determine the techniques that the teachers concerned employ to enhance their learners’ vocabulary acquisition. Moreover, it aims to observe learners’ attitudes towards vocabulary learning through private tutoring sessions. The theoretical framework of this research is based on Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development. To achieve this work, four (4) classroom observations have been conducted in three private tutoring centers situated in the town of Tizi Ouzou; and three (3) teachers have been interviewed. This study adopts the mixed methods approach which combines both qualitative and quantitative methods for data collection and analysis. Descriptive Statistical Analysis was used to analyse the data obtained from the classroom observations while Qualitative Content Analysis (CQA) was relied on to interpret the data gathered from the teachers’ interview. The conclusion drawn from the results of this study is that teachers believe that private tutoring allows learners with language learning difficulties to improve their vocabulary acquisition in a personalized instruction that can meet their individual needs. It also confirms that teachers in selected private tutoring centers use different vocabulary techniques that enhance language learning. Moreover, the results reveal that learners show positive attitudes as they are engaged and motivated to learn new words. | |
