Teaching English As A Foreign Language In Algeria

Being fully aware of the importance of English as a foreign language, both at the national as well as the international level, especially, as the world has become a global village, the Algerian curriculum developers incorporated English as another foreign language (besides French) to be taught in the national educational programme. As the potential of teaching this foreign language in a more positive environment in Algeria is available, this work attempts to conduct a brief exploration of the teaching of English as a foreign language (EFL) in the Algerian context. It also, attempts to shed the light, and in depth on the syllabus and the objectives suggested by the Algerian authorities (June 1999) for both Middle and Secondary school education.
