Dogme Elt : oral expression teachers' perceptions

Abstract EN

The present paper reports teachers’ opinions about the Dogme ELT Teaching Approach.

It aims to know whether such as an approach can be used in developing students’ abilities to express themselves orally.

This exploratory study was conducted by means of a semi-structured questionnaire administered to twenty (n=20) Oral Expression teachers at the Department of Foreign Languages, Section of English at Mohamed Kheider University of Biskra.

The findings revealed that teachers appreciated teaching through conversation and focusing on emergent language, however, the majority refused minimizing the use of materials such as textbooks and technology, which they consider necessary in language teaching.
