    The challenging facets of EFL learners’ writing performance
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2018-01-31) Zidane, Rahmouna
    Writing constitutes an important skill that has to be acquired by learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) to be able to express themselves in a written form within different contexts including academic studies and realistic situations. It requires the manipulation of a set of linguistic and cognitive sub-skills that determine the quality of the written product. The mastery of these features is reflected in the level of the learners’ writing performance. Therefore, this article attempts to highlight the interrelationships between the distinct writing traits and their role in increasing or hindering the students’ achievement through the study of the case of third year EFL learners at Tlemcen University using tests and interviews as research instruments. The analysis of the collected data has led to the conclusion that the students’ writing difficulties are mainly related to the issues of fluency and style.

    The one dimensional man in Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2018-01-31) Öğünç, Ömer
    Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure (1895) successfully represents the conflict between the individuals and the bourgeois industrial society in the late Victorian period. Herbert Marcuse’s criticism of the contemporary industrial society, which is actually a one dimensional society that imposes absolute norms on the individuals who are forced to become one dimensional wo/men, is quite relevant for a critical approach on this conflict. Marcuse’s approach enables a critical analysis of the social hegemony on such characters as Jude Fawley and Sue Bridehead in the novel. According to Marcuse, the institutionalised form of social oppression on the individuals aims to force people to lead one dimensional lives in accordance with dominant social norms. Marcuse underlines the conflict between individuality and social order. Hence, the protection of social harmony and the established bourgeois social order depends on the subjection of these individuals to the rules of the one dimensional society and actually destroys individuality. So, this article argues that, viewed from Herbert Marcuse’s perspective, social oppression in Hardy’s Jude the Obscure suppresses individuality to create one dimensional characters in a one dimensional society.

    Women in the institution of slavery and slave trade between 1500 and 1850: A chronological evaluation
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2018-01-31) Yıldız, Furkan
    The study focuses on the transformation in societies’ slavery related practices, particularly female slavery, depending upon social periods which can be listed as tribalism, classical antiquity, feudalism and capitalism. Particularly after tribalism which means urbanization, slavery has been treated as a manpower for production, a service for household duties and concubinage for masters’ desires by societies. During these periods, female slavery has dramatically transformed from household slavery to concubinage. This situation, particularly in capitalism, has turned into brutal practices. The main aim of the study is to show women’ situation in three main slave trades and to analyse why practical differences occur in them. The method of study is chronological evaluation in order to assess the differences among social periods, genders and societies’ women related perceptions. The study highlights the roles of slave trades not only for victims but also for societies. The practical brutalism in slave trades both female and male victims until the mid-19th century was one of the darkest side of history. In this regard, the study analyses every social period to consider, highlight and evaluate not only for understanding why there are practical differences between genders and but also for demonstrating the history of slavery and slave trade.
