Item A self-study of a former EFL teacher in Algerian secondary education(Global Journal of Foreign Language Teaching, 2022) Khaled ChouanaAbstract Several novices but also veteran teachers face several challenges as they try to implement the competency-based approach in their EFL classes. However, they can teach English better by deploying a number of innovative techniques and strategies instead of trying to implement a teaching method. This descriptive research paper aims to develop some reflections on TEFL at the secondary school level with special reference to Algeria. This research uses a self-study of teaching and teacher education practices (S-STTEP) by following the researcher’s work as an EFL headteacher and coordinator in Algerian secondary education for six years in order to illustrate ways in which personal techniques and strategies can contribute to a deeper understanding of teaching English in Algeria. The paper argues that TEFL in Algeria can evolve for the better as teachers adapt to the contextual factors and promote continuing professional development (CPD) and 21st-century skills.Item Handouts of the British Civilisation Course First-Year (L1)- Semester One(Abbes Laghrour University of Khenchela, 2025) Khaled ChouanaItem “Keep your friends close but your enemies closer”: The Ambivalent Portrayal of the American Mafia in The Godfather Part II (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974)(Ennass Journal, 2024) Khaled ChouanaAbstract: The article discusses the ambivalent portrayal of the American Mafia by analyzing Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather Part II (1974). The aim is to inspect how the film director represents organized crime in the US of late 1950s and early 1960s. The research methodology involves conducting a film analysis to shed light on the techniques used to represent the Mafiosi. The film depicts the brutality of Mafia and emphasizes the importance of family, while embodying the achievement of a corrupted American Dream. In short, the article argues that despite its release more than fifty years ago, The Godfather Part II remains a relevant film offering a complex portrayal of the American Mafia and its ethics.
