Abstract
Citizenship values are of interest especially in the 21st century. This research is about
investigating citizenship values among EFL students at M‟sila University; it also aims to
explore if learning English has an impact on citizenship values. The used method is the
explanatory mixed method, using both qualitative and quantitative tools, i.e. Citizenship
Values Levels Scale to measure levels of citizenship values among EFL students, and an
Online Questionnaire to explore the influence of learning English on learners‟ citizenship
values. Also, an interview is used to shed light on EFL teachers‟ opinions at M‟sila
University about levels of citizenship values. The study revealed that EFL learners have good
levels at belongingness, loyalty, rights, duties and democracy but average levels at social and
political participation. The study findings also reveal that leaning English influences EFL
students‟ CVs positively.
