At The Crossroads Of Integrating English In The Primary Schools: Parents’ Attitudes, Challenges And Impacts

Résumé: The question of integrating English in the Algerian primary school instead of its current state (middle school) is being asked since years ago. This year, the ministry of education has officially declared that children will start learning English from the third year primary school on September 2022. However, having a glance at the Algerian sociolinguistic situation, historical language background and the languages learned and used as a means a learning, such issue would raise a set of attitudes, challenges and impacts on both learners, teachers, parents and social and professional needs. This article aims to shed light on parents’ attitudes, challenges and impacts of such decision. It addresses a range of parents from different regions of both Bejaia and Tizi Ouzou.
