In this vein. Tunisia hosted the Hammamet conference which emphasized on the
Indispensable role of English in the 3 neighbours’ tertiary level students(Tunisia,
Algeria and Morocco). Despite being newly freed from the French domination, the
ones in concern spotlighted the inevitable indulgence of English in science and
technology stating that technical articles should be specific (ESP).
The results of this conference was that for reaching the proficiency state in
English language teaching, a demand of a fulfilment of a unique and exclusive
programmes that meet the needs of higher level students either business like or

2.3.1 ESP in Tunisia
As mentioned above, English in Tunisia is considered as the 2nd language and it’s
part of the curriculum at the adultery level in which ESP courses are available in
some universities and institutions primarily in management, law and medicine,
adding to some occupational fields such as banks and armies . So one may say that
it is provided for both professional and educational purposes as Tunisia doesn’t
have it tool of instruction.
In 1987, the Tunisian government outlined curricula which support foreign
language competency and computer literacy and that came at a certain period
where BENALI in 2000 made radical economic changes in the country. The
required management and computer skills pushed the civilians to prop these
decisions so that they can be taught English evening classes.
In 1983 , an ESP project was created to mould the courses’ basics and to
strengthen its teachers position. It is the combination of the Tunisian government
and the UK framework passing by the ODA ( overseas administration
development) and took place at the “ Institut Bourguiba des langues vivantes “ at
the university of Tunis which included all advanced level students. Two British
advisors have been appointed, as the first became the whole project leader and the
second weren’t South of the country to supervise the programs in concern in
January 1992 .
Accordingly, the project had two advisors which means two resources of
information for upcoming teachers and a national seminar that consists of ESP and
TEFL works which were shortly accumulated in the Tunisia ESP NEWSLETTER.
In the end, Tunisian's scholarships for both themes were held for the UK, as the
IBLV became a liberated department within the same institution that serves ESP
And applied linguistics teaching for students in 1995.
A year later, the focus were on English instruction in basic education as it
evolved to both vocational and higher education. All of the early mentioned were
established and organized by the IBLV and given to the population for a
considerable fee.
Since September 2000, English became so evident in both professional and
academic goals, as the IBLV and other British and US agencies began to spread
such education and offered so many opportunities just for their citizens to reach
proficiency and effective level in the language and hence catch the globalization
train.
This medium sized goal was to uphold post graduate teachers which
qualify Algeria to make greater use of its human power with some foreign
interference to the stock of fitting educational and concrete profitable
materials rather than being struck with scholarships.
