Willingness to Communicate in English among Saudi Female University Students
Turjoman, Mona Obaid Alrahman Ashik
International Education Studies, v9 n7 p170-177 2016
Since the English Language teaching system differs from public schools to private ones, it is presumed that this would have a great impact of students' willingness to communicate in English in Saudi Arabia. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the effect of private and public school education on WTC in English among Saudi Female English major students. Second, the researcher considered the degree of WTC in English among the Saudi Female English major students based on their private and public school education. Results indicate there is a significant difference between Saudi Female English major students' willingness to communicate in English based on their private and public school education. Further studies would be recommended to investigate why WTC is suppressed and English language not used among these students.
