Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though diverse, the Arab world boasts a unique culture and native language, both of which are unlike those found in English-speaking countries. Perhaps due to the nature of these differences, Arab-Western relations have been described as existing on one of the worldâ (TM)s great cultural fault-lines. Debate about the potential effects, both positive and negative, of English-medium education and the learning of English in the regionâ (TM)s schools and universities is one expression of this. Even as debate continues, issues of politics, culture, social mobility, and identity are played out in the English language classrooms of the Arab world on a daily basis. The current volume explores some of the concerns related to the place of English and English-medium education in the Arab world. It examines issues of the relationship between English, Arabic, cultural identity and power in the region within a historical and contemporary framework; the experiences of learners from Arabic-medium secondary schools adjusting to English-medium colleges; and the challenges and potential rewards of promoting student-centered classrooms and technology in traditionally teacher-centered environments. These issues are explored from the perspectives of teachers, students, researchers and other stakeholders in Oman, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Sudan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores an area that has been somewhat overlooked in the literature to date – the current status and future trends of English education in Oman. It offers a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to the subject and explores areas of English education in Oman that have, until now, been little investigated. It explores these issues from a variety of perspectives: the professionalization of English teachers in the country; the implementation of novel teaching methodologies, curricula, and assessment approaches, into what are, in many ways, still very traditional education settings; the integration of learner identity into English language instruction; country- and culture-specific concerns with conducting research with Omani participants; the strategic demands of building stronger links between education and workforce needs; and developing learner autonomy and motivation.

Book excerpt: The principal aim of this study is to investigate the experience of novice English language teachers in the Sultanate of Oman. Within this broad perspective, the study focuses on the critical period of transition of these novice teachers from teacher education into the actual world of teaching. It also highlights the challenges of this transition and emphasizes issues related to it such as the socialisation process and the support required in this regard. The ultimate aim of the study is to develop insights into the experience of novice ELT teachers in Oman from their own perspectives in order to make this transition easier and their experience a more positive one. The study followed the experience of four novice ELT teachers over the course of a full academic year, their first year of teaching. The study adopted a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews as the principal method of data collection. The study highlights the interaction of a range of interrelated factors which collectively shape the experience of ELT novice teachers. It provides evidence of the complexity of this experience and focuses on the importance of considering the novice teachers' own perspectives on this experience. The study also emphasizes the impact of the workplace context on their experience, especially on their socialisation process. The study shows that the four novice teachers of this study went through a number of stages in their development during their first year of teaching. The major challenge that the participants of this study encountered was reality shock.
