One of the effects left by French colonialism in Algeria was the division of intellectuals into two groups: advocates of Westernization and advocates of Arabization. This division led to the emergence of a debate about the necessity of adopting the Arabic language as the mother tongue as a basic component for establishing an educated society that keeps pace with the changes taking place in the scientific and technological field, and adopting it in educational stages, and among thinkers. Who waded into the folds and tribulations of this problem, the Algerian thinker Abdullah Chrate, as one of the most important advocates of Arabization in Algeria, out of his belief in the role of the Arabization policy in preserving national identity and culture. What are the motives that led our thinker to carry out the Arabization campaign in the homeland? What are the most important pillars of this project? The statement of Arabization contradicts the statement of bilingualism. Has this policy succeeded, what is its effect, and its drawbacks?
