THE USE OF FRENCH IN THE ALGERIAN CONTEXT, BETWEEN UNIVERSITY STUDIES AND PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES: THE CASE OF ARCHIVISTS

Abstract

This research falls within the domain of French for specific objectives (FOS). We are interested in a particular audience, in this case archivists operating in various professional sectors. We hope, through our investigation, to determine the nature of the training offered in French, for these candidate archivists who follow a university course based, on the whole, on the Arabic language, and this, in order to arrive at an analysis of their language requirements in the professional environment. We will first define their output profile by assessing the objectives and content assigned to the French module. Then, we will examine their entry profile into working life based on semi-structured interviews.
