Authors : Nakla Houcine Gherici .
Abstract
Nowadays, teaching and learning foreign languages have become of gigantic importance all over the world. In 2022, the Algerian Ministry of National Education officially declared the necessity of teaching English at an early age. Specifically, it has been introduced as a subject in primary schools starting from the third year. This study investigates the obstacles impeding effective EFL teaching. Therefore, a semi-structured questionnaire was distributed to instructors to gather valuable data and reach meaningful outcomes. Many teachers expressed concern about a lack of technological tools and resources, inappropriate teaching methods, overcrowded classrooms and insufficient time allocated to this subject. They find it challenging to work in such conditions. More importantly, young learners struggle with the acquisition of English and often confuse it with French. This research sheds light on the various impediments and difficulties that teachers encounter during their professional practice and that may affect their effectiveness in the classroom.
