Authors : Bourouina El-hadj .

Abstract

Language can be defined as a generic, communicative phenomenon, especially in descriptions of instruction. Conveying the meaning of the new material being taught and teaching the standard Arabic accordingly is the aim of this research that implies the need of a descriptive mixed method approach. Thus, this investigation is carried out by means of a classroom observation, and electronic survey handed out to 180 pupils from different schools (primary, Middle and secondary school), and 90 teachers, of different subject matter from different levels of school (primary, middle and secondary school) in Chlef. The findings reveal that teachers of the three schools do not very often use standard Arabic in their language classrooms.The study ends with some recommendations and pedagogical implications that attempt to help teachers of the three schools to make a balance between language as a medium of conveying the information and the information being conveyed.
