The Language Question In Algeria And The Prospects Of Esp Teaching In Higher Education

Authors : Afkir Mohamed .

Abstract

This article discusses the prospects of ESP teaching at university in the light of the complex language situation in Algeria. Although a lot of research has been done on ESP teaching methodologies as well as teaching content, there is necessity to see ESP and English teaching in general in the context of the country’s language realities. English is not alone in the field; Arabic, Tamzight and French are all strong players that cannot be ignored when assigning a role to English for Specific Purposes.
