Overview
The Department of English Language was established in 1999 in line with the international need of the English language as a primary language for professional, academic and communicative purposes. The first phase of the department was under the umbrella of College of Education in Jubail, where the department tackled the English language from a pedagogical point of view, and has thus granted a bachelor degree in Education in English language.
The department has a long and proud history of education and scientific research in all fields of the English language. In 2019, the College of Education in Jubail was transformed into the College of Science and Humanities in Jubail. This improvement has given birth to the program of English Language and Translation, which is suitable for the needs of the Saudi labor market.
It is a priority of the department to improve students’ communicative competence, to provide them with intensive knowledge in the fields related to the English language, and to enhance their linguistic and cultural knowledge related to English language, in order to enable them to translate in both written and verbal forms.
