An important contribution to the emerging body of research-based knowledge about teaching English to native speakers of Arabic, this volume presents empirical studies carried out in Egypt, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)—a region which has gained notable attention in the past few decades. Each chapter addresses an issue of current concern, and each includes implications for policy, practice, and future research. Nine chapter authors are Sheikh Nahayan Fellows—recipients of doctoral fellowships from The International Research Foundation for English Language Education (TIRF). This volume is the first in the Global Research on Teaching and Learning English Series, co-published by Routledge and TIRF.
"Indeed, this volume deals with a wide range of issues which are interesting to researchers in the Arabic region […] The volume reminds us as readers that there is more room for research into the teaching and learning of English in such fertile contexts as the Arabic-speaking world. Hence, Teaching and Learning English in the Arabic-Speaking World is a timely book which has shed some light on more recent and updated issues and, furthermore, should inspire researchers in the ELT field to focus on the Middle East and the Gulf countries."– Tariq Elyas, Professor of Applied Linguistics at King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia
“A fascinating insight into the diversity of issues that language educators in the Middle East grapple with.”- Dudley Reynolds, Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar
“…an essential resource for those individuals who are interested in the latest research from the Arab world.”- Christine Coombe, Dubai Men’s College, UAE; TESOL President (2011-2012)
