Educational Reform And The Need To Rethink Approaches, Attitudes And Perspectives In The English Lmd Study Scheme

Abstract

Algeria is in the midst of two major educational reforms: the National Education Reform (or School Reform) set up in 2003 which established the Competency-Based Approach (CBA) as an instructional framework for schools, and the Higher Education Reform set up in 2005, which established the LMD Study Scheme as a framework for university degree studies. In both reforms, one of the requirements is to revisit pedagogical approaches and practices, teacher and learner roles, and to seek for new perspectives to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
