The event was held under the patronage of the University Rector, Professor Ammar Boudlaa, the Honorary President, and Professor Dr. Linda Belabdelwahab-Fernini, the Chair, along with Dr. Salim Jerboui, the event coordinator. The program included valuable presentations by a group of specialists, including Professor Fawzia Amrouche from the University of M’sila, Dr. Wiam Ouarnik from Ziane Achour University in Djelfa, and Dr. Mourad Touati from the University of M’sila. The speakers discussed the current state of teaching scientific subjects in English at Algerian universities and the pedagogical and linguistic challenges associated with implementing this approach.

This would enhance academic competitiveness and open international opportunities for students.

The event concluded with an emphasis on the need to continue collaborative efforts to overcome current challenges and contribute to improving educational practices within Algerian universities.
