In a national attempt to promote the use of the English language in higher education, the Ph.D candidates (2023-2024) have had the chance to benefit from a national online training in English to get them ready for the new challenges of the Algerian University. 

 

These workshops are basically part of this national program and they actually consist of oral presentations that the candidates are meant to deliver in front of each other, for the first time, in English. 

 

The different levels have different topics to present as a way to put their theoretical/ virtual learning of the English grammar, phonetic, terminology, and all the other skills into practice. The objective of these workshops is to prepare the candidates for the upcoming national test in English. 

 

The teachers' feedback is a constructive one that helps the candidates improve their skills. They basically evaluate the candidates' ability to introduce their topics and have roadmaps to their presentations, the clarity of ideas and their relevance, fluency and pronunciation,  and the use of visual aids.
