Morocco is no exception. This paper seeks to address the issue of multilingualism and language teaching in Morocco with a special focus on the functional specialisations of the languages existing in the linguistic map of Morocco to consider their economic benefits for the Moroccan labour market. The linguistic map of Morocco and the attitudes of seven interviewees in both national and international companies are qualitatively analysed to reveal the real linguistic needs of Moroccans in the era of a globalised economy. A hint is made to the Moroccan language planning policies and the leading institutes namely, the Institute of Studies and Research on Arabization and the Royal Institute of the Amazigh Culture, whose roles respectively are to promote Arabic and Amazigh languages in all Moroccan walks of life. Policy-makers should encourage the acquisition of foreign languages in Morocco and meet the requirements of the flourishing business between Morocco and its close neighbours and commercial partners. The hypothesis introduced is that, to increase employability, the new job candidates need to have some linguistic skills that should meet the prerequisites of both the local and global job markets. To improve Moroccan economic performance, proficiency in different languages, especially English, is a must. The recent progressive free trade agreements ratified by Morocco, with the USA, the European Union, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates, suggests that the most appropriate language to play the role of a lingua franca would be English. Keywords: Multilingualism, Moroccan Language Planning Policy, Language Attitudes Introduction In a globalised economy, the mastery of foreign languages has become an urgent requirement. This paper attempts to investigate the issue of multilingualism and its link with employability and the complexity of the Moroccan linguistic map. The general objectives of the Moroccan educational system will be briefly examined, pinpointing the language offer in education, noting the position given to English compared to other foreign languages. After defining key concepts such as employability and an overview of the current job market in Morocco, an account of Morocco's trading performance will be provided, the languages of its main trading partners and the frequency of export by trading partners. All these elements, along with interviews in both national and international companies, suggest that there is an urgent need for change in policy for foreign language and especially English teaching in Morocco.
