English is a widespread lingua franca of Algeria according to the CIA World Factbook.[2][3][4]
Presentation
According to the Euromonitor International site, the English language was spoken in 2012 by 7% of Algerians, and learning this language is also explained by the fact that many Algerians have emigrated to the United Kingdom and other English-speaking countries.[5][6]
Education
Since the independence of Algeria in 1962, the English language has been taught to the majority of students from the middle level.[7][8][9]
Media
There is no English-speaking Algeria television channel, and just as no radio channel broadcasts in English.[10][11]
Even the Radio Algérie Internationale channel only produces a few minutes of English-language programs a day, which are broadcast on the air from 8 p.m.[12]
Newspapers
There is no English daily or periodical newspaper that is published in Algeria.[13]
It was only the Arabic-speaking newspaper Echorouk El Yawmi which tried in collaboration with the British Council to popularize the English language in Algeria by devoting one to two pages per week for initiation into this language.[14][15]
