Book excerpt: Teaching English speaking skills to the Arab students has always been a challenging task for EFL teachers because it is a foreign language. For this reason, EFL teachers must constantly learn new strategies to overcome the variety of problems concerning speaking skills in the classroom. Although much research has been conducted discussing the difficulties related to teaching English language skills to the Arab students in the Middle East, this study is considered the first study which focuses on problems in learning and teaching speaking skills in the Saudi School in Kuala Lumpur where English is spoken as a second language. The primary purpose of this study is to explore the major problems which influence the teaching of English speaking skills to the Arab students in the Saudi School in Kuala Lumpur. It also aims at finding out the areas of difficulties that hinder the Arab students from learning to speak in the English classes in the Saudi School. Furthermore, the research aims to explore the role of the environment on the Arab students' English language speaking skills in Kuala Lumpur. This research adheres to qualitative method, and its data collection was conducted through observing and interviewing four English teachers and four students selected purposively. Findings included areas like learning and teaching difficulties and curriculum inappropriateness. In conclusion, the researcher suggested some techniques to enhance the teaching quality and to enable the students to overcome their lack of speaking proficiency such as implementing communicative teaching in the classroom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, , language: English, abstract: The use of English as a language within the Arab-speaking countries gained significant attraction at the turn of the millennium. In most of the schools and Universities, the official language has been Arabic while English has always been taught as a secondary language or a foreign language. This is mostly true in the gulf countries. Each year, the assessment of English language to various cohorts of students involves a complex social phenomenon that has a very deep impact on both the students and the stakeholders within the education sector. Although most of the students pass these assessment tests in their foundational years, they still fail to cope with the enormous amount of academic requirements within the departments in which they are admitted. This is because of their lower understanding levels of the English Language. The main aim of this chapter is to explore the role played by the education stakeholders, more so focusing on teachers and instructors, in the assessment of the English language in the Arab Gulf countries and the North Africa; specifically in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The chapter examines the beliefs and role of instructors and teachers towards the assessment of the English Language in Saudi Arabia’s learning institutions. The assessment is based on two primary research questions: 1. What roles do the teachers and tutors offering English language assessment play in the implementation of practices at the foundation? and 2. How do the teachers and instructors perceive English language assessment program? The research methodology included the use of both primary data and secondary data. Based on the findings of the study in this chapter, there is a need for further research into the beliefs and practices of teachers in the assessment of specific language skills within the various contexts. The research in this area is found to be very limited.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The education system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is given a great deal of attention by the government as it is keen to provide an educational system that caters to teacher and student needs. Because English has the potential to provide access to resources that may facilitate advancement in science and technology, it is difficult to deny or underestimate the importance of the English language in Saudi Arabia. Despite the history of EFL teaching and resources allocated to the teaching of English in Arabia, the quality of Saudi students' English language skills has raised many concerns. Saudi students currently study English as a foreign language for 12 years and yet reach high school with limited English proficiency, unable to write a passage or carry a simple conversation in English. Shedding light on the perceptions of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in the context of English education in primary and secondary schools has become crucial. Three Saudi EFL teachers' perspectives of English language instruction in Saudi Arabian primary and secondary schools were examined using a case study methodology. Using Zoom semi-structured interviews, respondents provided a comprehensive image of English classrooms and curriculum in Saudi Arabian schools, as well as the challenges associated with the classes.
