Spread of English and Westernization in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Abed, Fawwaz; And Others
World Englishes, v15 n3 p307-17 Nov 1996
A questionnaire was distributed to Saudi Arabian undergraduates in order to investigate their attitudes toward Westernization, national identity, and religious commitment. Results revealed that learning English did not "Westernize" students nor weaken national identity. Implications and recommendations for establishing a rigid language policy in Saudi Arabia are discussed. (Author/JL)
