In many countries non-native English speakers are introduced of English as a foreign language in public schools as a required subject beginning in early primary schools. In Saudi Arabia, in 1927 the English language was introduced at the secondary schools without a specific syllabus. In 1953, teaching English language was introduced at intermediate and secondary schools with a specific syllabus (Al-Subahi, 1989). For many years in Saudi education curriculums English courses were compulsory and started from middle school up to secondary public schools, the students’ ages from 11 or 12 attended intermediate level and at age 18 finish secondary level. Nevertheless, private schools in Saudi Arabia start teaching English as a foreign language from first grade onward, however, there are a lot of students who still find mastering English very difficult, and their performance is still weak. I certainly regret that this is the case; looking back over our schools I believe they should inspire the students early about the importance of learning English language for the sake of their future. In short, learning foreign languages not just for giving ways to communicate with people in other countries, has become important for those who want to study and get a degree or who want a good job in other countries such as United States, British, or Australia. Teaching English language to Saudi children will open up new

Why do MFL teachers need to use TL in their lesson? First of all, teachers are always assimilated to role models for their pupils; for a French teacher who is trying to make his students talk in French, it would be coherent to model those expectations. In that way, the logical question from a reluctant student asking - “why are WE expected to speak French and you are not?!”- can be avoided. Also, many would say that it is just common sense to say that the best progress will be made if the teacher uses as much TL as possible. So, can we suggest that the more pupils hear a language the more they can grasp? Indeed, when teachers use the TL as the principal mean of communication it allows pupils to gain a maximum opportunity to use it for themselves as well. (Little, 1995) Also, when learners hear large amounts of comprehensible input and they are engaged in meaning-making, they understand and retain what they hear and they use it to form their own messages. (Long, 1981) (Swain, 1995) In addition to that point, ACTFL states that “learners need as much exposure as possible to the target language for acquisition to occur” (ACTFL, 2017). If this statement is accepted to be true, then, the MFL teacher has no other choice but to use TL as much as he can, especially when it is established that the classroom is the only opportunity for the French student to hear and speak in the target language. Crichton (2009) suggests that it is still possible if the target language is seen as the normal means of communication by both the teacher and the students. In conclusion, those multiple opinions highlight the importance of a good quantity of TL within the classroom.

A great deal of researches is devoted to discuss different teaching techniques through which teachers can maximize teaching efficiency and facilitate the process of learning a new language for the learners. To design and adopt such techniques we need to be aware of psychological and cognitive procedures through which a foreign or second language is learnt.

Whether one wants to travel, find a job, or find entertainment, the English language will most likely be somewhat involved. This comes as no surprise since English has been referred to as the unofficial language of globalization (Corrêa De Almeida). Globalization is attractive to many because, “it is the interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations” (Globalization 101, 2016). With this in mind many seek to learn English to gain better job opportunities or to simply have access to worldly entertainment. English as second language (ESL) education techniques now become the center of attention in order to satisfy the demand for effective English learning as a foreign language. ESL

English is one of the most spoken languages all over the world and for many people become a requirement in different area as work, school, social and cultural. This essay will explain through the use of research how this particular student learns English as a foreign language; needs, influences, strategies and intelligence.

In recent years, English has globally become an important requirement for improving one’s life in terms of perceiving high social status or expanding job opportunities (Altan, 2012). Moreover, the emerging trend towards economic globalization and multilingualism has stimulated the need for English education across the world (Pennycook, 1994). Therefore, there is an increasing number of people in different parts of the world who want to learn English for various needs and goals. Immigrants in the US, Canada, or Australia, for example, tend to learn English for communicative purposes as they want to be integrated into their current communities. International adult students may also decide to travel to English speaking countries to learn English for academic and professional purposes such as university entry or getting well-paid jobs offers. Considering students’ various goals for learning English along with the time, money, and effort they devote to study the language, it is clearly evident that students come to learn English with specific expectations regarding the way of language teaching and the learning outcome (Bordia, Wales & Pittam, 2006). For instance, students who aim to learn English for academic purposes or to improve their TOEFL or ILETS tests scores may expect to read and write more academic texts while students enrolled in business English program may expect to learn various terminologies related to the business world and to practice more business conversations.

In India, parents choose English as the medium of instruction for their children because English is the language of computers, language of business, language of science and technology and the list is endless. By grasping the mind-set of the parents and societal needs, the schools in India try to be monolingual by aspiring to fulfil the wish and objective of the parents. But the Indian societies are multilingual and hence the children who hail from diverse background fail to adapt to changes. The children who have been trained to think in their mother-tongue feel depressed and agitated when they are compelled to learn in English. On the other hand the students who learn in their mother-tongue are compelled to join in English
