Authors : Kiram Guamra . Khechekhouche Abderrahmane .

Abstract

This study explores English language use within an Algerian oil company, analysing employees’ educational profiles, training engagement, and self-reported proficiency levels. The results indicate a heterogeneous workforce with varying degrees of English competence and differing levels of motivation to pursue further language learning. Speaking emerged as the most essential skill for professional communication, reflecting the company’s operational requirements. The study provides a clearer understanding of employees’ linguistic needs and highlights the importance of developing targeted English training programs to enhance workplace communication and performance.
