REFLEKSI:  Kabarnya di Indonesia perlu diajarkan bahasa Arab pada tingkat SD, 
tetapi   di Tanah Suci mau dibelajarkan bahasa Inggris pada tingkat SD. Apakah 
petinggi Indonesia tidak salah mengerti arah dunia bahasa ilmu pengetahuan dan 
komunikasi?

                  English Teaching to Be Implemented in Phases
                  P.K. Abdul Ghafour, Arab News 
                   

                 
                  JEDDAH, 29 April 2006 - Moves are under way to introduce the 
English language to fourth grade students in Saudi government schools, Asharq 
Al-Awsat newspaper reported yesterday quoting Haya Al-Ayad, an Education 
Ministry official. The program will be carried out in phases.

                  She said a comprehensive curriculum-development program would 
be implemented next year. "The move to introduce English language from grade 
four has been considered in light of the Eighth Five-Year Development Plan 
(2005-2010)," she added.

                  Al-Ayad said it would be difficult for the Saudi society to 
accept teaching of English language at primary level due to the influence of 
Arabic language. 

                  "The new plan will be carried out in phases after conducting 
a feasibility study," she said.

                  The official said the new English-language program for 
primary schools was designed for both girls and boys, focusing on the 
principles of the language. She noted that there was wide acceptance for 
English among Saudi girls.

                  "We have noticed that only a few number of girls fail in 
English-language examinations," the official pointed out. "English is an 
important subject which children should learn at home before going to school."

                  Spelling out the significance of English in modern world, 
Al-Ayad said it is the key to modern science and technology and brings world 
people closer. 

                  "If our youth fail to learn English, they will not be able to 
interact with other peoples and cultures," she explained.

                  The Education Ministry has already embarked on a project to 
revise English-language textbooks taught in the intermediate schools in the 
light of the feedback received from teachers. 

                  The lack of an adequate number of qualified Saudi or other 
Arab teachers in English has hamstrung government efforts to introduce English 
teaching at an early stage. At present, there are 20,000 male and female 
English-language teachers in government schools.

                  With pressure mounting for Saudization and resistance from 
the private sector to hire more Saudis in view of their deficiency in English, 
the Ministerial Council passed a resolution three years ago calling for the 
integration of IT courses and English-language teaching in the school 
curriculum.
