Abstract |
|
|
| I have been teaching English for more than ten years in one of Jazan region’s rural areas. Rural areas in Saudi Arabia share similar characteristics such as shortage of public services, the roughness of the roads and low population. Public schools are affected by these features positively and negatively. Schools in rural areas have fewer students than the suburban schools which is an advantage, but they lack technological facilities and have weak internet connections. When it comes to second language learning, these kinds of deficiencies result in noticeable negative impacts such as the amount of exposure to the English language. The amount of exposure can be increased under the umbrella of language immersion approach. |
