    The Impact of socio-cultural factors on learning english as a foreign language in algerian rural secondary schools
    (Constantine university, 2001) Khaldi, Hafida; Zahri, Harouni
    The present thesis is a total of five chapters aiming at investigating the socio-cultural background of 3 AS pupils in learning english in some Algerian rural areas. The socio-cultural background of the pupils is at the very core of this study and thus success factors of learning english as a foreign language .are examined from a socio-cultural vantage.The process of socialization, therefore, plays a considérable rôle in shaping the leamers’ own experience in différent fields espècially in that of F.L learning . It starts at home and extends to later stages of life as the individual steps out to the world of peers in the neighbourhood and at school. So, in ail these social institutions, the leamer is exposed to many experiences that may influence his learning either positively or negatively. First, at home, the family’s economic and educational status affects the socialization pf the leamer by preparing him/her from the early days of childhood to meet the expectations of school life , in our case, the learning of foreign languages mainly english. Second, the impact of the surrounding environment and school on socialization is of primary importance since it is there where; young leamers pick up more and more social and cultural views that can hinder or enhance theikleafning. Through a questionnaire administered to a hundred and eighty 3 AS pupils belonging to différent streams of study and another to fourty teachers of english, this work has been conducted. The results of this study attempt to show that pupils living in culturally and economically impoverished environments tend to score low attainment levels in english. This failure is not only due to the home but also to a host of factors mainly the neighbourhood and school as well.
