English For Specific Purposes At Algerian Tertiary Level: Real Deficiencies And Practical Remedies
Authors : Turqui Barkat .
Abstract
This article is developed round two major axes: first, it is necessary, at this point, to assess the ESP course at university level in terms of practitioners, curriculum, and the overall organization of the classes; second, as an ESP teacher, the choice of content, teaching methods, available materials and in-service training programmes are of utmost importance in the present situation. In fact, it is advanced that the elaboration of an ESP syllabus requires a collaborative work of the administration, students and teaching staff who have accumulated enough experience to conceive and, eventually, evaluate such syllabus. However, the development of courses’ content is left to teachers, but in the almost-complete lack of a qualified teaching staff- the majority of instructors are teacher-trainees that are poorly monitored. Within this context, a descriptive research methodology has been adopted in order to undertake a binary analysis: an in-depth investigation that reports on the ‘state of affairs’ of ESP/EMI at university level along with a careful primary evaluation of the CEIL/MOOC teachers’ training programmes. An interview- as a research tool- has been submitted to the trainees, and a quantitative-qualitative research study has been undertaken. In sum, the present research work identifies deficiencies in the curriculum and attempts to provide alternatives to disentangle the ESP class from its burdens.
