Student Life

At the Faculty of Languages and Translation (FLT), we believe that students should embrace the process of selecting their university as much as the result. For that reason, we hosted a group of highly motivated students on December 4th from Al-Dhikr High School where they explored the various college options King Khalid University has to offer before they decide which one is the best fit. Visits to the FLT are not a one-size-fits-all approach, as such, students along with their teachers had the opportunity to take part in a personalized guided tour of the campus by the Dean, Dr. Abdullah Al-Melhi, the Vice Dean, Dr. Yahya Asiri, and the Chairman, Dr. Munassir Alhamami. Students of Al-Dhikr High really enjoyed the opportunity to experience the campus first-hand. They were fascinated by the extracurricular opportunities provided by the English Club, the uniqueness of our IELTS Center, the student participation in the LEP, and our state of the art Listening Labs. "We are very pleased to have you with us today. I encourage you to continue your journey on the road to success," said Dr. Abdullah Al-Melhi, Dean. In like manner, Dr. Yahya Asiri and Dr. Munassir Alhamami echoed Dr. Al-Melhi's comments and encouraged the students to be relentless in the pursuit of knowledge. To conclude, an informational presentation was delivered by Language Instructor, Hassan Costello, where he provided an overview of the FLT and urged students to plan for their future today.  Date: 12/4/2017 Source: Faculty of Languages and Translation Multimedia Contribution: MD Sherajul Islam

The Faculty of Languages and Translation hosted a group of high performing students from Al Manaahal Intermediate School at its main campus on November 13th. Students, along with their teacher, had the opportunity to take part in a personalized guided tour of the campus by the Dean, Dr. Abdullah Al-Melhi, the Vice Dean, Dr. Yahya Asiri, and the Chairman, Dr. Munassir Alhamami. Visiting students were provided with an in-depth understanding of the University's offerings in general and the FLT in particular coupled with a comprehensive tour of the English Club, IELTS Center, LEP, and the Listening Labs. Following after, an inverse Q&A session took place in conference room A/3/151 where students had the opportunity to engage in peer-to-peer conversations and engage the faculty with questions about the University and student life. "You're the future of this great nation. I encourage you to learn English! It is an international language that you will need regardless of your major," said Dr. Abdullah Al-Melhi, Dean. Correspondingly, Dr. Munassir Alhamami and Dr. Yahya Asiri encouraged the students to aim high in their studies and indicated that attending King Khalid University is a step in the right direction for their future.   Date: 11/14/2017 Source: Faculty of Languages and Translation Multimedia Contribution: MD Sirajul Islam
