JEDDAH: English will be taught from the fourth year in 284 elementary boys’ and girls’ schools in Makkah province from the next academic year, which begins Sept. 10, the local education officials announced Sunday.
Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education for Planning and Development Naif Al-Roumi said the ministry would seek the help of international firms to teach the language. He said the ministry has so far received offers from three of these firms.
“The ministry is determined to arm students with languages so that they take our culture to foreign societies, spread Islam and serve humanity,” he said.
The Ministry of Education has already chosen 30 boys’ and 30 girls’ schools to apply the project aimed at expanding the teaching of English from the first intermediate school year.
Eight intermediate schools have already implemented the project of expanding the teaching of English at the second year as part of a pilot program, bringing the total number of boys’ and girls’ schools in Makkah teaching the language to 352.
According to the Department of Education for Makkah province, English will be extensively taught to fourth-year elementary students and second-year intermediate students.
Al-Roumi said the ministry would do its utmost to ensure the perfection of the English language and would ask the Cabinet to approve the teaching of the language at an earlier stage than the sixth elementary year when it was ready for the step.
English was taught on experimental basis in the fourth and fifth elementary years during the past two years in selected government schools.

Teaching English as a foreign language in our public schools is vital to our success, as it will deepen our global understanding and competitiveness in an increasingly interdependent and competitive world.
Teaching English language from Grade 4 in boys and girls primary schools, beginning from the 2011-2012 academic year, and the possibility of teaching English below Grade 4 if the Ministry of Education makes the necessary arrangements, is a step toward making English a mandatory component of basic education in Saudi Arabia.
The advantages of teaching English on a large scale as well as on individual basis are numerous.
English, being a global language, enhances the economic competitiveness of a country, improves its global reach and enables it to better maintain its political security and interests. Moreover, a multilingual citizen can better appreciate cultural differences and be more insightful.
For employment and career advancement, linguistic skills and international experience matter a great deal. Those who are competent in English can help bridge the gap between cultures, seamlessly engage in international trade and, to a greater extent, contribute to international diplomacy and promote national security and world peace. In addition, business transactions between Saudi Arabia and most other nations in the world are conducted in English; thus, there is a real and growing need for more Saudis to be proficient in both spoken and written English.
Many Saudis are aware of the need to learn English given its importance in the modern international business world. Saudi Arabia is expanding its economic relationship with other countries, and an increasing number of joint ventures are being undertaken between Saudi Arabian and foreign companies, investors and businessmen. English is also essential for many areas of specialization, such as social work, teaching, health professions, and others.
There is evidence that students knowing English are more creative, they develop a deeper understanding of cultures, show stronger skills in their own native language, and generally do better in problem-solving and overall academic performance.
Those who study a foreign language tend to demonstrate greater cognitive development and divergent thinking than monolingual children. Additionally, students who are competent in more than one language generally outscore those who are speakers of only one language.
They also develop enhanced abilities in reading, writing, mathematics and can grasp linguistic concepts — such as words having several meanings faster and sooner than their monolingual counterparts.
English can enable an individual to compare and contrast cultural concepts and, thereby, expand personal horizons and world view. It gives English learners more self-confidence as they understand how others think and why, and weaves a richer tapestry of life through an expansion of their interests and involvement.
These are considerations that we all — from decision makers within a family to education policymakers and state authorities — need to take into account in order to reinstate English language education as part of general education.
Teaching English in Grade 4 is a timely move that will raise the standard of education at public schools by equipping Saudi students with the necessary skills needed to power their nation’s development.
