As English
increases its dominance as the international language, the need for proficiency
in speaking and writing English have become more and more pronounced. As
business becomes more international and cross-cultural, individuals are
recognizing the need for high levels of English communication skills.
According to Abdul Wahid Al-Homaid, a columnist in Arabic daily Al-Riyadh, 'a
person can work anywhere in the world if he or she has a working knowledge of
English'. Proficiency in English language skills he opines will ensure
developing counties are 'not to be left behind in today's world of rapid
technological development.'
Abdul Rahman Al-Rashid, editor-in-chief of Asharq Al-Awsat has corroborated
Al-Homaid's comments and argued strongly for increased educational focus on the
English language. Employment opportunities, he maintains 'are plentiful in
spite of high unemployment- the problem is a lack of the language needed in
order to do the job.'
In light of these cases, ALISON's free online courses coincide with the need
for language skills training resources. The course allows those familiar with
the English language to improve their language skills within both a personal
and professional context. The course offers a comprehensive examination of a
range of writing styles and how to use them to communicat effectively.
