Copper permalloys for fluxgate magnetometer sensors
Authors: Narod B. Barry , Miles David M.
Published: September 2023

Abstract. Fluxgate magnetometers are commonly used to provide high-fidelity vector magnetic field measurements. The magnetic noise of the measurement is typically dominated by that intrinsic to a ferromagnetic core used to modulate (gate) the local field as part of the fluxgate sensing mechanism. A polycrystalline molybdenum-nickel-iron alloy (6.0–81.3 Mo Permalloy) has been used in fluxgates since the 1970s for its low magnetic noise. Guided by previous investigations of high permeability copper-nickel-iron alloys, we investigate alternative materials for fluxgate sensing by examining the magnetic properties and fluxgate performance of that permalloy regime in the range 28–45 % Cu by weight. Optimizing the alloy constituents within this regime enables us to create fluxgate cores with both lower noise and lower power consumption than equivalent cores based on the traditional molybdenum alloy. Racetrack geometry cores using six layers of ~30 mm long foil washers consistently yield magnetic noise around 4–5 pT/√Hz at 1 Hz and 6–7 pT/√Hz at 0.1 Hz meeting the 2012 1-second INTERMAGNET standard of less than 10 pT/√Hz noise at 0.1 Hz.

Abstract. The Po Plain (Italy) is one of the most densely populated
and productive regions of Europe, characterized by a flourishing economy
(also linked to strategic subsurface resources) and several world cultural
and natural heritage sites. The coupling of socio-economic interests with
geological hazards (i.e. seismic, subsidence, and flooding hazards) in this
area requires accurate knowledge of the subsurface geology, the active
geological processes, and the impact of human activities on natural environments
to mitigate the potential natural and anthropic risks. Most data unveiling the subsurface geology of this region were produced by
the hydrocarbon exploration industry. Indeed, the Po Plain hosts many hydrocarbon
fields that have been discovered since the early 1950s, giving rise to the
subsurface exploration through extensive seismic reflection surveys and
drilling of numerous deep wells. In this work, geological and geophysical data
from 160 deep wells drilled for hydrocarbon exploration and/or exploitation
purposes in the Po Plain and in the facing northern Adriatic Sea have been
collected and digitized along with several published geological
cross-sections and maps. These data have been used to reconstruct the
overall subsurface 3D architecture and to extract the physical properties of
the subsurface geological units. The digitized data are suitable to be imported into geo-software
environments so as to derive the geophysical and mechanical properties of the
geological units for a wealth of applied and scientific studies such as
geomechanical, geophysical, and seismological studies. The integrated dataset may represent a useful tool in defining regional
first-order strategies to ensure the safety of the urbanized areas and human
activities and to reduce natural and anthropic risks that may affect this
crucial region of Europe. In particular, the data collected would be useful
to highlight sensible areas where data collection and more detailed studies
are needed. Nowadays, such issues are particularly relevant for the
underground industry development related to the increasing interest in
possible CO2 and hydrogen underground storage, which can play a
fundamental role in the energy transition process towards
decarbonization goals. The full dataset is available at the following link: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8126519 (Livani et al., 2023).
HETerogeneous vectorized or Parallel (HETPv1.0): An updated inorganic heterogeneous chemistry solver for metastable state NH4+–Na+–Ca2+–K+–Mg2+–SO42––NO3––Cl– based on ISORROPIA II
Authors: Miller Stefan J. , Makar Paul A. , Lee Colin J.
Published: September 2023

Abstract. We describe a new FORTRAN 90 computer program to solve the system of equations for the NH4+–Na+–Ca2+–K+–Mg2+–SO42––NO3––Cl– system, based on the algorithms of ISORROPIA II, but containing algorithm improvements and corrections. These allow the code to deliver more accurate solution results in formal evaluations of accuracy of the roots of the systems of equations, while reducing processing time in practical applications by about 50 %. The improved solution performance results from several implementation improvements relative to the original ISORROPIA algorithms. These improvements include (i) the use of the ‘interpolate, truncate and project’ (ITP) root–finding approach rather than bisection, (ii) the allowance of search interval endpoints as valid roots at the onset of a search, (iii) the use of a more accurate method to solve polynomial subsystems of equations, (iv) the elimination of negative concentrations during iterative solutions, (v) corrections for mass conservation enforcement, and (vi) several code structure improvements. The new code may be run in either a “vectorization” mode wherein a global convergence criterion is used across multiple tests within the same chemical subspace, or a “by gridpoint” mode wherein individual test cases are solved with the same convergence criteria. The latter approach was found to be more efficient on the compiler tested here, but users of the code are recommended to test both options on their own systems. We also note that implementation of inorganic chemistry within chemical transport models should take care to retain residual or “free” mass of aerosol species remaining after partitioning, to ensure mass conservation – the new code has been constructed to explicitly conserve the input mass. The new code is provided as open–source FORTRAN 90 shareware.
Mangrove ecosystem properties regulate high water levels in a river delta
Authors: Pelckmans Ignace , Belliard Jean-Philippe , Dominguez-Granda Luis E. , Slobbe Cornelis , Temmerman Stijn , Gourgue Olivier
Published: September 2023

Abstract. Intertidal wetlands, such as mangroves in the tropics,
are increasingly recognized for their role in nature-based mitigation of
coastal flood risks. Yet it is still poorly understood how effective they
are at attenuating the propagation of extreme sea levels through large
(order of 100 km2) estuarine or deltaic systems, with complex geometry
formed by networks of branching channels intertwined with mangrove and
intertidal flat areas. Here, we present a delta-scale hydrodynamic modelling
study, aiming to explicitly account for these complex landforms, for the
case of the Guayas delta (Ecuador), the largest estuarine system on the
Pacific coast of Latin America. Despite coping with data scarcity, our model
accurately reproduces the observed propagation of high water levels during a
spring tide. Further, based on a model sensitivity analysis, we show that
high water levels are most sensitive to the mangrove platform elevation and
degree of channelization but to a much lesser extent to vegetation-induced
friction. Mangroves with a lower surface elevation, lower vegetation density,
and higher degree of channelization all favour a more efficient flooding of
the mangroves and therefore more effectively attenuate the high water levels
in the deltaic channels. Our findings indicate that vast areas of
channelized mangrove forests, rather than densely vegetated forests, are
most effective for nature-based flood risk mitigation in a river delta.
Repercusión de la COVID-19 en los titulares clickbait de Huffpost y Upsocl: la sensacionalización de la pandemia
Authors: Robles Ávila Sara
Published: September 2023

La irrupción de la pandemia por COVID-19 con sus terribles consecuencias encontró en el sensacionalismo de los titulares clickbait (en adelante CB) una fórmula de expresión verbal idónea con la que acompañar el flujo incesante de noticias dramáticas y aterradoras. A pesar de que pudiera parecer que esta situación de alarma real inhibiría la proliferación de unos titulares de corte banal y superficial, lo cierto es que ocurrió todo lo contrario, hasta el punto de que medios tendentes a titulares CB como Huffpost y Upsocl hicieron que este hecho noticio de crisis social perteneciente a las hard news –en este caso un contenido serio del ámbito de la salud– fuera centro temático de sus titulares sensacionalista. Ello se debió fundamentalmente a la fusión que se producía entre enfermedad, desconocimiento, sorpresa, miedo y desconcierto, sin duda, un excelente caldo de cultivo que permitiría la multiplicación de estos titulares, virados en esta ocasión al espacio luctuoso de una situación terrible a escala mundial y con unos rasgos de expresión en parte coincidentes y en parte diferenciados de los convencionalizados en los CB prototípicos.
Diálogo de saberes en el Área de Música de la Línea de Profesionalización de artistas del Proyecto Colombia Creativa
Authors: Tobo Mendivelso Mónica María , Rodríguez-Benavides Iván
Published: September 2023

El objetivo del presente estudio es establecer la forma en la que el área de música de la Línea de Profesionalización de artistas de reconocida trayectoria del Proyecto Colombia Creativa desarrolló un diálogo entre los saberes previos de los músicos que lo cursaron y aquellos saberes propios de la tradición académica de enseñanza musical. Para el cumplimiento de este objetivo se abordó el diálogo de saberes en música a partir de planteamientos teóricos que permitieron ahondar en algunas de sus dimensiones y brindar herramientas conceptuales para diseñar una propuesta orientadora sobre cómo proyectos de profesionalización similares pueden implementar dicho diálogo. Estos planteamientos están agrupados en tres categorías: apropiación de la música, simetría y justicia como condiciones para el diálogo y, por último, saberes populares y exclusión en América Latina. La investigación es cualitativa y utiliza como estrategia el análisis de contenido. La muestra seleccionada abarca los programas de formación musical de cuatro universidades que han implementado la Línea de Profesionalización de Artistas: Universidad de Nariño, Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, Universidad del Atlántico y Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas.

Entre las principales conclusiones de la investigación se encuentra en primer lugar, la necesidad de sustentar más claramente los fundamentos epistemológicos desde los cuales se propone desarrollar el diálogo de saberes dentro de Colombia Creativa. También se evidencia que parte de las limitaciones en la implementación de espacios dialógicos está asociada a estructuras institucionales universitarias que históricamente han privilegiado, legitimado y jerarquizado una única forma de conocimiento y, por ello, dificultan la integración de saberes que se desarrollan al margen de la academia. Por su parte, las recomendaciones finales van dirigidas a los diferentes niveles de toma de decisiones en procesos de educación artística a nivel superior: Ministerios de Cultura y Educación, Universidades y aulas de clase.

Corona pandemic has left negative impacts all over the world in general and Jordan in particular. Part of the negative impacts left by the pandemic are the psychological and emotional effects on schools' students. This study aimed to identify the impact of the Corona pandemic on the students' mental health in public schools in the Qasbah of Salt from the educational counselors' viewpoint. Seventy counselors participated in this study. To achieve the study's objectives, the researchers developed a questionnaire consisting of (42) items within three domains: Eating and sleeping disorders, psychological problems, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. SPSS program was used to analyze the collected data. The results showed that corona pandemic has a medium effect on students' mental health in the areas of obsessive-compulsive disorder, psychological problems and depression and that eating and sleep disorders were high among students. There were no statistically significant gender differences among the counselors. However, there were statistically significant differences due to the experience favoring those with ten years or above. Furthermore, statistically significant differences were evident due to the educational qualification favoring those with graduate studies degrees. Based on these results, future suggestions for research, policy and practices are presented.

The article studies the patterns of morphological changes in the thyroid gland and adrenal glands in a newborn white-breasted hedgehog, which should be considered as a compensatory-adaptive reaction of the body aimed at maintaining metabolic homeostasis by the period of postnatal life. In 75% of cases, a definitive cortical substance was found, which is not accompanied by zonal differentiation. The chromaffin cells of the medulla are few in number, poorly differentiated, and are located in the center of the gland in the form of a thin strip. The thyroid gland does not have a typical lobular structure and classic follicles, it is represented by asexual accumulations of thyrocytes, which indicates its incomplete definitive structure.

Published: September 2023

This research aims to analyze the opinions of classroom teachers on the social skills of refugee students. The qualitative method linked to case study design was used in the research. Within the scope of the research, interviews were conducted with 22 classroom teachers who have knowledge about the concept of social skills; who work in Sivas which was selected with regard to the method of convenience sampling; and who have refugee students in their classes which were selected with regard to the method of criteria sampling. Data were collected by using semi-structured interview and observation forms. Descriptive analysis method was used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the research, it was observed that refugee students have language problems, and they are shy and introvert. It was determined that communication and social skills of the students are weak; yet, they obey school and classroom rules. The number of teachers who stated that refugee students’ ability to solve the problems they face is sufficient and the number of teachers who stated that refugee students’ ability to solve the problems they face is not sufficient are very close to each other. While the teachers state that they do not do any extra exercise in the classes to increase social skills of refugee students and they do not find themselves competent as they do not have knowledge on this subject, they also suggest that students should learn Turkish before they attend school. A variety of suggestions were made in the light of the research findings.

Authors: Arık Aylin , Erturan Ayşe Gökçe
Published: September 2023

The aim in this study was to identify predictors of teachers’ and students’ motivation and autonomy support in physical education. Ninety-four physical education teachers (26 female, 68 male) and 2127 students (1093 boys, 1026 girls, and 8 no gender specified) from 56 (42 public, 14 private) high schools all voluntarily participated in the study. The students' perceived autonomy support, the intrinsic motivation for physical education and teachers' perceptions of their own autonomy support in lessons and their motivations to teach were assessed. Pearson correlation analysis showed no relationship between teachers’ perceptions of autonomy support and the students’ perceptions of autonomy support. Regression analysis showed that a) the students' perceptions of autonomy support were positive predictors of the students’ intrinsic motivations, b) the assessment support sub-dimension of autonomy support was positive predictor of teachers’ intrinsic motivations to teach in physical education. Given these findings, it becomes critical that PE teachers learn about the value of autonomy support and how to provide it during pre-service and in-service teacher education.

Published: September 2023

21st century skills can be considered as a tool to facilitate students' lives and prepare them for the world of the future. In this context, teachers' knowledge and experience of 21st century skills will be effective in solving possible problems that students will experience, and in turning them into a socially accepted, active, questioning, self-sufficient, well-equipped, determined, harmonious, social, qualified individual. In this study, phenomenological research design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The study group of the research consisted of 26 primary school teachers working in Balıkesir. In the study, criterion sampling and maximum variation sampling method, which are purposive sampling methods, were used. In the 4th Grade Social Studies course, teachers' experiences regarding how 21st century skills are perceived by teachers and how they are reflected in the program were collected by interview method. Content analysis was used in the analysis of the qualitative data obtained from the interviews. In this study, interview questions were evaluated under 3 different skill groups. Among the findings of the study, teachers see themselves as inadequate in "entrepreneurship" and "project management" and in parallel, they place less place in activities for the development of these skills in students in the social studies program, they mostly find themselves in "Empathy", "Lifelong learning", "Problem Solving and Decision". However, they mentioned the inadequacy of today's education system in acquiring skills because the curriculum is intense, resources or textbooks do not support skill-based activities, and our assessment-evaluation approach is exam-oriented.
Modulating miRNA binding sites within circRNA for enhanced translation efficiency

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed circular RNAs, and some of them preserve translation potency. However, modulation of circRNA translation efficiency and its applications need to be explored. In this study, RNAs containing the translation initiation element CVB3 IRES and the coding sequence of luciferase protein were transcribed and circularized in vitro by T7 RNA polymerase and an optimized permutated intron‒exon (PIE) splicing strategy. The circularized RNAs were then transfected and translated into active luciferase in the cultured cells. Insertion of miRNA binding sites at the flanking region of the luciferase coding sequence significantly reduced the translation efficiency of the circRNAs. Mutations of the miRNA binding sites in the firefly luciferase coding sequence led to increased translation efficiency of synthetic circRNAs in cells. We also proved that mutations of the binding sites of specific miRNAs also enhanced the translation efficiency of synthetic circRNAs. Further in vivo experiments via bioluminescence imaging showed that synonymous mutation of the miRNA binding sites promoted synthetic circRNA translation in nude mice. This study demonstrates that the modulation of miRNA binding sites affects the translation efficiency of synthetic circRNAs in vitro and in vivo, which could be used as versatile tools for future applications in clinical imaging.

A New Logistic Generalization Arising from Distributions of Order Statistics: Properties and Applications
Authors: U.V. Echebiri , C.U. Anyadiegwu , N.L. Osawe , H.A. Abubakar , C.J. Adewole
Published: September 2023

Distributions with the variable support x∈R that exhibit strict symmetricity are versed in literature; and serve as model-fit for various forms of bell shaped outcomes; where normal and logistic distributions are renowned examples. This strictness, however, limits the application of these probability models to a particular kind of data; hence, its minimal utility. In this paper, therefore, a new generalization for the logistic distribution termed the Jones generalized logistic distribution is proposed. This new distribution is conditionally symmetric; which entails that the distribution attains symmetricity, only at equal parameter combinations. By implication, the proposed distribution serves the dual purpose of modeling both symmetric and asymmetric outcomes. Some properties of the proposed model have been derived. Finally, JGLD were fit to two different lifetime data as a demonstration to its relevance.

Methods: Ziziphus nummularia root extracts such as aqueous and ethanol were prepared by using soxhalation process. The antimicrobial activity was screened by agar well diffusion method and antituberculosis activity were screened by MABA (Microplate Alamar Blue Assay). Results and conclusion: In preliminary phytochemical screening the extracts showed the presence of major phytoconstituents such as alkaloid, flavonoid, tannin, saponin, terpenoid, sterols, carbohydrate and protein. The Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were noted in both invitro activity screening. In Antimicrobial screening, the ethanolic extract of Ziziphus nummularia root was more susceptible to Staphylococci with a maximum zone of inhibition 24mm, while aqueous extract showed zone of inhibition 14mm at 80 mg/ml. It shows that ethanolic extract of Ziziphus nummularia root has good potential antimicrobial activity against aqueous extract and standard drug. Similarly in antituberculosis activity, the aqueous extract of Ziziphus nummularia root showed minimum inhibitory at a concentration of 25 μg/ml, while ethanolic extract showed minimum inhibitory concentration at 100 μg/ml. The aqueous extract of Ziziphus nummularia has moderate antituberculosis activity when compared with ethanolic extract and standard drug we used.

Interpreting Community in Algeria
Authors: Azzoug Omar
Published: September 2023

In recent decades, considerable steps have been taken in various countries to develop the supply and quality of interpreting and other services that enable citizens, business-man and expatriates with limited proficiency in the local official language(s) to access public services such as health care, education, legal recourse, the police, and social benefits. These improvements in the provision of 'community' or 'public service' interpreting have coincided with an increase in the training and research conducted in this field. Courses, postgraduate programs and systems of accreditation in community interpreting or its subfields have been launched across the world, and ever more research into interpreting in settings such as courtrooms, hospitals and police stations. In Algeria, however, the situation is rather different. Although certain Algerian laws, bylaws and regulations do prescribe and detail the use of (spoken and signed) interpreting in legal and other settings, in reality, alternative to ad hoc solutions and untrained interpreters is very common. Only a handful of university teachers Interpreting scholars and trainers, medical, legal and other professionals have attempted to set the provision of community interpreting on a stronger institutional footing. Given this, the paper aims to take stock of the state of community interpreting in Algeria, in terms of needs, legal and political framework, provision and training, and the actual experiences of interpreters (professional or informal) and those who rely on them.
Native American and Targui WomenSimilar Aspects of Life
Authors: Douar Aicha
Published: September 2023

Renown scholars have previously pointed to the commoness existing between tribal people in different parts of the world. At first glance, visible affinities attract the attention of the viewers either when travelling, reading books or, watching documentary films. Some writers have mentioned the common traits between the native Americans and the Saharans of north Africa. The two regions seem too hard to live in still, they are populated and their peoples have managed to enter history and the cultural world heritage with their petro glyphs and distinctive cultural traits. To what extent do Native Americans and the Saharans of North Africa share cultural traits and why? This visible commonness is attributed to women more than men, for the reader would see no resemblance between a veiled Targui and a Native American with a feather’s headdress. Three hypotheses are stated to enhance some parallels. The findings which are listed concern the spiritual and cultural characteristics of both populations in general besides some specificities such as jewels’ motifs, vivid colors and, the hairstyle of women.

This research paper aims to reveal the embittered reality of the profession of official translator-interpreter in Algeria by stressing the drawbacks he/she suffers from, be it in terms of theoretical education or continuous training. The latter is necessary for the performance of this profession. Prerequisites for the practice of this job and its legal framework will be set by us. The absence of a status governing the profession is counter to any attempt to improve the status quo. We will look at the practice of the profession and its socio-economic issues, which we will try to deduce by analyzing the nature of the documents requested for translation, based on our professional experience in this field.Furthermore, we have found out that far from the stereotype that defines him or her in the traditional role of a linguist, the translator is a reliable link in the chain of local development, taking on an important part in all aspects of life. Thus, he/she can help in the field of socio-economic studies by providing clues and data on certain situations prevailing in a given geographical area at a given time. However, the importance of his/her role as an economic agent has not yet granted him/her the recognition that he/she deserves. Actually, he/she is still standing helpless in the face of the aporias that he/she must often manage alone with the means at hand.Finally, we conclude that the title of public officer confers on the official translator-interpreter a heavy legal but also economic responsibility.

The 2003 reform and its impact on citizenship through the 3in its 2007 edition: State of Arts

The national tragedy that Algeria experienced exposed all the shortcomings of the Algerian school of the time and thus revealed the deep reasons for the crisis that shook the Algerian society. This tragedy also and above all marks the failure of the axiological values advocated by national education. Values which are nevertheless very present throughout all the official literature - ministerial circular, educational documents, programs, - but which deserve to be revisited to define the true profile of the Algerian citizen of tomorrow as wanted by the Algerian school through the design of new textbooks. These didactic tools born from the 2003 reform work to train the Algerian of tomorrow, an Algerian resolutely open to the world. This examination will also make it possible to question the legitimacy and the aims of an education which determine the content to be offered. An education in citizenship could then impose itself and thus constitute the only guarantee of a resolutely modern society. The work we have done has shown that overall the axiological values are present in this Algerian textbook even if they are not treated in the same way.The recommended axiological values should naturally fit into our school textbooks which are inspired by the action-oriented approach? This is the case with this manual. However, it is permissible to question the ability of our teachers to apply it properly. How many revolutionary approaches have experienced bitter failure for lack of being properly applied in class practices? The implementation in secondary education in 2003 of the new program resulting from the education reform will lead teachers to assume new educational responsibilities. Moreover, with the introduction of these new values, they will have to intervene in this new disciplinary field of citizenship education. that's why“The initial and continuing training of teachers must therefore take into account a series of factors ranging from the acquisition of theoretical foundations to the development of intellectual skills through the practice of effective learning strategies. » However, this action-oriented approach - an ideal framework for realizing this objective which, according to Christian Puren, is to train the learner to become a real social actor - has not yet managed to penetrate language classes because of the reluctance displayed by teachers who apprehend any didactic innovation that may disturb them. It is high time to remedy this situation.At the end of this brief analysis, we take the liberty of proposing these few avenues of research for better management of axiological values in the language classroom.

The concept of literature according to Mustafa Nasif

Mustafa Nassef is considered one of the poles of contemporary Arab criticism who was inhabited by the awareness that prompted him to search for a special critical method for Arabic literature. Through it he tried to read the heritage with much depth and awareness and with an objective view. He based his approach to heritage texts on a methodological framework that relied on a set of Western approaches that he tried and adapted to serve the heritage text, preserving its cultural specificity with the motive of renewing the tools of understanding to remove many of the psychological barriers that exist between us and our heritage. He also presented a set of critical studies, theoretical and applied, in an attempt to clarify the characteristics of the theoretical advocacy that he deems appropriate for the analysis of literary works. The purpose of this research was to find out the interpretation of Nasef's approach to literature and to know his general view of knowledge, considering that his approach represents a modern intellectual current and thus invested in literary studies.
Cultural Clash and the Manichean Translation of African Culture in Achebe’s Things Fall Apart
Authors: Haddouche Fethi
Published: September 2023

Colonial languages have caused a serious epistemological upheaval in the mind of Africa. Many aspects of African cultural identity are lost due to the failure of these languages to name concepts that do not exist in the semantic scope of the colonial linguistic structures. This article studies Chinua Achebe’s attempt to write back to the colonial discourse which has for a long translated African culture in Manichean ways that are informed by racist ideologies, most of which are used to maintain concepts and definitions rooted mainly in the anthropological imagination. Highlighting semantic gaps and ambiguities in the colonial representation of African culture, he commits himself, through his novel Things Fall Apart, to establish the ontological and epistemological perspectives of African cultural identity in an artistic manner. This novel becomes a narrative space that reflects the ideological struggle between the culture of the colonizer and the colonized for social and political dominance.

The use of film and film sequences for an action learning in German classes under LMD system at the University of Oran

The aim of this article is to undertake a research on the use of German films in Algerian GFL classes. Due to the -constantly growing- globalization, language and cultural knowledge are becoming more important than ever before for individuals and society. If you speak several languages today, you also have more opportunities in professional life. Foreign cultures always come with foreign languages. However, without staying in the countries of the target language, it is very difficult to really get to know the culture. Nevertheless, most Algerian pupils and GFL students will only encounter the foreign language and the foreign culture at school or at university. The teacher in Deutsch lessons becomes a very important element in the transfer of culture, mostly with the support of didactic means (textbooks, films, pictures, textbooks...etc). In doing so, he must observe the basic principles of media didactics, the methods of using the medium of film and the competence goals of the curriculum. So, the focus is directed onto teaching, and what happens in the classrooms determines how well this new culture is conveyed. Using examples from our seminars, we would like to present and analyze some of the methods reinforcing the appeal to the film in order to develop different skills among Algerian GFL learners.
