Résumé: In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, the need for effective instruction tools and communication skills has become more critical than ever before. As a result, teachers are increasingly required to teach using English to all ages and backgrounds. 21st century education is characterized by upgrading and updating teaching practices and incorporating modern methods to cope with the current generation. Indeed, there is an increasing demand for individuals to possess a range of technological, interpersonal, soft skills and critical thinking skills. To meet this demand, it is important for educators to not only teach English but also equip themselves and their students with the 21st century skills necessary to succeed in today's rapidly changing world. This paper proposes an exploration of the intersection between teaching English to teachers and meeting 21st century skills. It will examine the challenges and opportunities involved in teaching English to educators in the Algerian universities and explore effective strategies for developing the skills necessary to thrive in the 21st century. Ultimately, this research aims to provide insights and practical advice for educators who seek to enhance their own language proficiency and empower their students to succeed in the 21st century.
