Introduction

Due to globalization, English language use and its teaching have grown exponentially in different countries, and Algeria is no exception.  With the introduction of English language as a medium of instruction in the Algerian higher education, policy makers, course designers, and institutions are now to design course materials which should meet learners’ needs appropriately. However, designing course materials make it evident that syllabus design is one of the most controversial areas of additional language pedagogy. Course design and materials development have always been a daunting task. There are several issues that can arise when designing an ESP course, developing authentic materials, assessing course objectives and meeting learners’ needs, be it subjective or objective

Main Objectives of the Workshop

The aim of this webinar is to invite professionals and researchers to share their expertise in the field regarding one of the following topics: –

  2. Negotiated curriculum/syllabus
  3. Materials development and evaluation
  4. Authenticity in ESP context
  5. Challenges non-native speakers face in ESP class
  6. Course/Syllabus design remedial
  7. English as a medium of instruction
  8. Course assessment versus language assessment
