Abstract

Whether you are in vocational retraining in Algeria, looking for a job abroad, want to
evolve in your current position, English is often one of the first criteria to be evaluated.
Nowadays, it is important to speak several languages in the job market (which is also
increasingly connected to foreign cultures). So start learning as soon as possible! In
addition to your mother tongue, it is advisable to master at least two other languages.
With at least an upper intermediate level in English, new professional opportunities will
open up to you more easily, so that it will guide you naturally to the job of your dreams!
The aim of this paper is to shed light on the teaching of English in the Algerian university
context in general and the department of Arabic at Tlemcen university in particular.
