Authors : Fatima Zohra Ennebati . Noureddine Lenba .

Abstract

The rise of English as the lingua franca that is widely recognized and adopted as a means of communicating between people of different mother tongues, has brought changes as well as challenges for the language industry. Hence, learning the dominant language in the world has become a real investment in human capital. Moreover, economic studies have revealed that fluency in a dominant language is important to economic success and boosts economic efficiency. This study attempts also to shed light on the educational reforms adopted by our government, regarding the improvement of foreign languages education to explore the extent to which Algeria is ready to invest to develop language as human capital.
