World Englishes

On Monday, May 01 2017, Abdullah Omar, an MA student at King Khalid University held a presentation titled Awareness and Attitude of Saudi Students towards World Englishes in a seminar organized by the Language Research Center of the Faculty of Languages and Translation. It was based on his MA research proposal. The study aimed to measure the awareness and attitude of the male undergraduate students at King Khalid University towards World Englishes. Abdullah Omar began his discussion with the history of World Englishes. While talking about its history, he related that the rapid spread of English around the world as the primary factor that contributed to the concept of World Englishes. He cited some scholars who conducted research in the field of World Englishes. Despite the fact that in Saudi Arabia, there are people from different parts of the world who speak English, Abdullah pointed out, most of the higher level students are not aware of this phenomenon. The session was very engaging and entertaining. Date: 05/02/2017 Source: MD Adil
