This research paper investigates the implementation of English
as a Medium of Instruction in Algerian higher education in light
of the recent Englishization drive. Algeria's recent policy shift
towards endorsing English as the main medium of instruction in
universities has significant implications for the educational
scene in Algeria. Through a literature review and a
questionnaire, this research investigates the motivations for
change, its implications, inherent challenges and suggested
strategies for success. The paper argues that the success of the
Englishization shift is subject to empowering content teachers
as change forerunners, and offers recommendations for policy
and practice, including strategies for supporting content
teachers' agency and addressing the challenges emanating from
this transition.
