Esp Vs. Egp In Algerian Secondary Education:‎ Promoting Specialty Language Continuum In Academia



Authors : Behira Younes .

Abstract

Algerian secondary education plays a pivotal role in preparing learners for tertiary studies. First year secondary learners are oriented to two major streams: scientific and literary. Such learners’ profile discrepancies, however, were not taken into consideration while designing secondary education English textbooks, which should, in theory, mirror the official syllabi and the tenets of the accredited approach. Thus, learners of different streams study the same textbook files putting into question the English for General Purposes (EGP) approach adopted by textbooks’ designers. This study examines the effectiveness of both EGP and English for Specific Purposes (ESP) approaches in promoting specialized language skills and facilitating a smooth transition from secondary education to academia. The study uses a student’s questionnaire as a data collection tool. The study results confirm that secondary education learners will be oriented to different academic specialties which require specific English vocabularies and use, i.e., different exit profiles allowing them integrate high education smoothly. Therefore, the need for specialized secondary education English syllabi is of paramount importance.
