Résumé:
English serves as a worldwide language that facilitates communication and collaboration and makes a
wide range of information easier to access. Its widespread use as an instructional medium enhances
educational opportunities. Students of the department of law are not used to have English as a tool of
instruction but rather, exposed only to its grammar, rules, vocabulary and terminology. Therefore, the
study aims at investigating students' attitudes towards using English as a medium of instruction. A
descriptive quantitative method was used through administering a structured questionnaire to the
students at the department of law at Guelma university as a sample of the study. Moreover, the results
indicates that students have shown positive attitudes toward the use of English as a medium of
instruction. Therefore, this study suggests some pedagogical implications for students, teachers, and
faculty members in order to apply English as a medium of instruction in Algerian higher educational
institutions.
