Language planning and reforms in the Algerian education

Abstract EN

Dealing with Foreign Language in education has existed for centuries.

Our 21st century entrance into the new millennium has brought renewed interests and contestation around the educational alternative, global and political interdependence are more than ever acknowledged realities of today’s world and all of them put pressure on the educational system.

The implementation of foreign languages in education offers the best possibilities for preparing coming generations to participate in more and just democratic societies in our global intercultural world, however, it is not problematically achieved, there are many other unanswered questions that are tackled by this article.

Language planning may affect all areas of language use but typically concentrates on the more observable ones because language planning typically responds to problems that are sociopolitical in nature, sociologists or political scientists may first identify and assess the need for some sort of action.

Educators incorporate language planning legislation into action and develop programs to fulfill the needs.
