Assesing the impact of information literacy drawing from reading on students' writing - Case of L3 students tlemcen university

Abstract

The present thesis triggers one’s mind about the roles of two skills that are deemed of paramount importance within the academic fences ;they are reading and writing .More precisely speaking, it is said that such roles could manifest through implementing another skill known as “ Information Literacy” .It constitutes the practical application of a theoretical background constructed upon reading and supposedly enhances students’ academic performance in general and writing in particular .Hence ,this research aims at verifying the validity of the latter statement. It is to bear in mind that the students who make up this thesis sample belong to the third year of EFL in the Department of English –Faculty of Letters and Languages- at Abubekr Belkaid University of Tlemcen .The results have indeed proved that information literacy, centred on reading, contributes to the embellishment of students’ academic performance and writing as well.
