Issues in the EFL University Classroom A Psycho-Educational Overview

Abstract

Algeria among other countries has recently implemented new reforms in the educational sector for the main objective of responding to needs of the digital generation of students. In higher education, the introduction of the LMD (Licence-Master-Doctorate) -an alternative system in teaching and learning- represents a major step towards innovation and challenge. Under this system different roles and responsibilities are required from the teacher and the student in the foreign language classroom where the former is not only a model but also a supervisor and the latter is the principle actor. The present work is a case study that aims at presenting a psych-educational analysis of the major issues teachers and students encounter in the EFL classroom before and after recent reforms. It tries to know students and teachers attitudes towards the LMD classroom and the set of roles they are called-upon to perform under this system
