Abstract
Teaching and learning English has undoubtedly become a widespread educational practice
all over the world. The aim of the study is to explore teachers’ and parents' attitudes towards
teaching the English language in the primary schools. Also, it aims to provide necessary
information about EFL teaching and its impacts to primary school children. Indeed, this work
is an attempt to look for the appropriate methodology for the young learners that can be
suitable for children The purpose is to investigate teachers and parents' point of view about
teaching English in the Algerian primary schools. After analysing the data quantitatively and
qualitatively, the main findings clearly show that the majority of teachers and parents
positively welcomed the inclusion of English as a school subject in primary education rather
than delaying it until the middle school. However, a minority of participants demonstrated a
negative attitude expressing their preference to keep only French to learners in primary
schools.
