The Language Planning of French and English in Algeria
2024
Overview
Algeria, a Mediterranean region exposed to various conquests, was deeply influenced by French colonization from 1830 to 1962. The French aimed to erase Arabic identity, making French the dominant language through military, political, judicial, and educational measures. This led to widespread illiteracy and the marginalization of Arabic. Post-independence, despite efforts to revive Arabic, French maintained a strong presence. Post-1962, Algerian leaders sought to promote Arabic, facing challenges in a society still influenced by French. Initial efforts under President Ben Bella were modest, increasing Arabic hours in primary schools. Boumediene's era saw forceful Arabization, yet students favored French for higher education. Bendjedid continued Arabization, but Tamazight faced neglect. Zeroual and Bouteflika's tenures highlighted ongoing tensions, with some progress for Tamazight. Despite governmental efforts, French remained dominant in education and daily life. The 2019 protests underscored a desire to replace French with English, reflecting a shift in public sentiment against colonial remnants.
