Students who have never even had an official contact with the English alphabets are made to do exercises that involve dictation, crossword puzzles, sentence and paragraph constructions which is just like telling you to teach a toddler how to fly. The teacher will find the situation quite challenging and sometimes even fruitless.

Moreover, one thing I have come to realize about teaching in Saudi Arabia is that a teacher’s excellence is not so much his qualification or his teaching expertise but his ability to control the rather naughty and haughty Saudi student.

a student is not afraid of you because you are a teacher but because perhaps he feels that he can not beat you in a fight.

making polite requests is one thing Saudi students often need to learn.


Many of those public-sector teachers have sought to leave the profession because of low wages and what they perceive as a lack of respect in Saudi society. Some of them have also complained of the lack of aids such as audio-visual materials and language laboratories

Unfortunately this is the truth said by non-saudi teachers

thanks for these articles
