Parents’ Attitudes Towards Exposing Their Children to English in Algerian Primary Education
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Along with the internationalisation of English, many parents demanded teaching English at the level of primary education in Algeria. The latter is commonly known as the second largest Francophone country where French is set as an official first foreign language in the Constitution and given priority over the international language which is set as the second foreign language. English has no clear status and is not given importance as French at the institutional and political level. The present study aims at identifying the attitudes of parents in South, West, East and North of Algeria towards exposing their children to English at the primary school level in the future. It also centers on specifying the reason why these parents want to expose their children to English at an early age. Qualitative and quantitative data were obtained through the use of questionnaires administered to 275 parents. The results revealed that positive attitudes were expressed by the parents from different areas of Algeria towards exposing their children to English as the language fosters their education and career and keep them abreast of the world developments. The current study represents an impetus for promoting English in Algeria and directing more attention and importance to it.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
