Since globalization is the process of international integration of businesses and organizations worldwide, this interchange of businesses, cultures, and ideas has had a dramatic impact on education and languages’ learning. Thus, acquiring foreign languages is seen amongst the prior competencies that learners should possess in the current era of globalization.
In Algeria, both French and English has been made part of the educational system for teaching foreign languages. Despite the great efforts made by Algerian policymakers, in addition to the measures taken by the Ministry of National Education, to improve the teaching foreign languages in Algerian schools and raise the level of pupils and help them master these languages, pupils are unable to acquire a good mastery of foreign languages, especially in the South of Algeria where pupils fail to achieve a good command of English and French. In fact, their academic results in exams prove this reality.
Using a descriptive approach, the present paper attempts to analyze the learners’ failure in the mastery of foreign languages, both English and French. The researcher uses both teachers’ and pupils’ questionnaire which are administered in secondary schools in five wilayas of the South of Algeria; namely, Adrar, Bechar, Biskra, El Oued, and Ouargla, to investigate the causes behind learners’ failure to master both French and English. Additionally, the present research provides some recommendations to overcome the difficulties encountered by learners in learning foreign languages.
