Abstract |
|
|
| Learning English as a second language in Saudi Arabia is a challenging task. English in Saudi Arabian schools is taught as a subject among other regular subjects that the students take every and not as a language. English must be part of every students daily life if we want our future generation to master English as a second language. Improving our students English is not a difficult mission. Teachers and administrators need to create a good learning environment in the best interest of the students. English in Saudi schools should be taught as language that students need to master and not just a subject that needs to be taught in order to move to the next grade. We have excellent students in Saudi Arabia who require us to give them the chance to discover their abilities and give them the opportunity to obtain English in their everyday lives in and outside of the classroom. The project focuses on how we can improve our students level of proficiency in English. The benefits of teaching English at an early age will be discussed. As a researcher, I will also make suggestions regarding the importance of increasing the English classes periods in Saudi schools. I will explain the differences between communicative and grammar teaching approaches. Finally, I will talk about the importance of including technology into the English teaching process. |
