The Extent to Which Pupils Have Adopted the Values of Middle School English Book Year Three

The present study aims at determining the extent to which the values, derived from the second-generation curriculum and introduced in the third-year middle school English book, are adopted by teenagers to help them overcome their identity crisis, in Algeria. To achieve this aim, two questionnaires applied to 70 third year teenage pupils were carried out. One prior to the study with the third year English book, the other one after the study.The results of the two questionnaires were compared and showed that the values total average has increased from 16.06 in the first questionnaire to 21.33 in the second. An increase has also been noticed in the averages of the four value dimensions: national identity (from 4.76 to 6.10), national awareness (from 3.63 to 5.36), citizenship (from 4.13 to 5.31) and openness to the world (from 3.50 to 4.50). The previous results confirm that there is an improvement in the values of pupils yet the commitment to the values of « openness to the world » dimension is still weak compared to the other ones and needs further research to be improved.
