Titre: | The algerian languages and education situation: between monolithic system and multilingual context |

Résumé: | The most severe problem that Algeria has had to cope with since independence in
1962 lies in language. It is the only Arabic country, which lived under French
assimilationist colonial rule for 132 years. It has absorbed the heaviest colonial impact,
which has Gallicized the country. To restore and recover a previously oppressed identity
and personality, independent Algeria hastens to implement a language policy embodied in
Arabization as a monolithic system in education, which remains up to now a very thorny
issue.
In actual facts, the education system is described as “a real failure”; however, a
new political discourse emerges, a discourse which is more open to foreign languages and
which admits the linguistic diversity of the country. Education became, therefore, at the
crossroad of both Arabization and multilingualism. In this present study, the researcher
proposes to investigate the impact of Arabization as a language policy on the educational
system with a special focus on the scientific disciplines; it is intended to reveal the main
students’ difficulties caused from the contradictional language use as a medium of
instruction in both levels (secondary and higher education).
The current research is divided in four chapters. The first one is a review of the
socio-linguistic features of Algeria and examines the status and functions of each
language; it also deals with the language policies implemented in the educational system
before, during and after independence with a special focus on Arabization policy and its
related impact on secondary and higher education resulting from a contradiction of
language use: Modern Standard Arabic in all disciplines of secondary education and
French as a medium of instruction in the scientific disciplines of higher education. The
second chapter is an overview of language planning and language policy, which discusses
also language-in-education and demonstrates that these concepts (i.e. language planning
and language policy) are strongly linked to education. The third one mentions the methods
that are used to answer the research questions and test the hypotheses. The fourth chapter
introduces some suggestions and recommendations that can be regarded as tentative
remedies to “the ills” of the policies of languages in Algeria. |
