LEARNING ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES
Abstract
The present paper is meant to provide an analysis of the English language Learning situation in the Computer Science Department of Sidi Bel Abbess. Our principal goal is to examine the learning circumstances, then, to seek some appropriate and possible solutions for the problems met. For this purpose, a questionnaire is distributed for 20 students. The current study starts with a portrayal to the English language position and need. Then, a clarification of the methodology followed is to be explained. At last, some solutions to the conundrums explored are recommended.
