The Role of Time Management on EFL Learners’ Productivity.

Abstract

The present study sheds light on the role of effective time management strategies on third year EFL learners’ productivity at the Department of Foreign Languages at AbdElhafid University Center- Mila. It aims at scovering whether learners who practice efficient time management strategies demonstrate better productivity. To reach this aim, a semi- structured questionnaire was conducted with 50 students to obtain their perceptions of the role of time management in their productivity. The data analysis reveal that EFL students generally experience difficulty managing their time effectively during their learning process. Yet, it is interesting to find out that they are aware of the fact that the effective management of time is necessary and it has a positive role in their productivity since it gives them the ability to organize, plan and control their various responsibilities and activities. The study concludes by suggesting a range of recommendations for both teachers and students aiming to promoting the use of optimal time management techniques among students.
