Realities of the English teacher : revisiting the curriculum at ecole normale supérieure, Bouzareah, (ENSB)‎ in Algiers

الملخص EN

This research revisits the school Normale Supérieure Bouzareah curriculum after the 2000 school reform.

though initial teacher education is implicitly concerned by the school reform of 2000, Ecole Normale Supérieure Bouzareah seems to have stayed away from the improvements induced by this reform.

the English curriculum has little prepared the trainees for their future profession, and this is impacting the trainees to a great extent as once in their classes, many felt like misfits because what they learnt at Ecole Normale Supérieure Bouzareah does not fit the demands and expectations of the classroom, and is far from the school realities.
