Fatiha Mouili
The linguistic situation in Algeria after the independence was so complicated. With the presences and the dominance of the French language as an antagonist of the Arabic language during the colonization reduces the value and importance of Arabic as the national language of religion, identity and loyalty. Just after the independence, the Algerian national and loyal officials insisted o recovering and regaining the status, identity, and the prestige of the country. The first and the most important decision was returning the Arabic language in its previous position before the coming of the French. Although they imposed the use of Arabic in many domains, by they believed that education guarantees the position and the prestige of the Arabic language. Therefore, this paper presents the steps and the history of Arabization process in Algeria after 1962 through education. It also refers to its goals and the handicaps of such process in the country at that time.
