For the Purpose of this study EAL will be used to describe any child with English as an Additional Language. Information from the January 2012 schools census found that over one million children in the United Kingdom now speak another language in addition to English. It also found that there are over three hundred and sixty languages spoken in primary schools. These children can range from beginner speakers of English, such as refugees or asylum seekers, to those who are advanced speakers of English who have grown up at home with both English and another language being spoken (Webster, 2011)

The UAE has abused human rights throughout its growth and development boom in its effort to be known as a globalized country. The UAE has violated workers’ rights. Lack of enforced law, along with substandard living conditions and lack job opportunities in source countries are some of the many realities faced by migrant workers in the UAE. The UAE government, together with the international community must work together to end the current violation of workers’ rights.

He also explored Arabs’ attitudes towards Arabic, French and English in particular and factors involved in using these languages. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, Bader selected a sample that consisted of 100 Arab respondents who reside in Quebec, Canada, covering different age ranges, gender, and educational backgrounds. The instrument of the study was a sociolinguistic questionnaire. Results showed that Arabs of Quebec, Canada have positive attitudes towards Arabic, English and French. They freely use their Arabic language in the domain of home and with family members, in worship places and when listening to the radio. In addition, they use English and French in Governmental offices and formal applications and in educational institutions. Results also showed that Arabs of Quebec mix these languages in the domain of neighborhood, with friends, and

Many studies have been conducted about the minority languages in Canada as a multilingual and multicultural society (Dweik, Nofal & Qawasmeh, 2014; Qawar, 2014). For example, Dweik et al (2014) investigated the language use and attitudes among the Muslim Arabs of Vancouver in Canada. The results indicated that the Muslim Arabs maintained their Arabic language through multiple factors. These factors relate to the use of Arabic language in different domains such as home, friendship, workplace and neighbourhood. Besides, language maintenance factors such as the use of Arabic in religious activities, the status of the Arabic language, cultural identity, attending Arabic schools and the role of the Arab mass media (TV, radio and newspapers) are

Training for a common society: Language as a Cultural Bridge – the foundation of The Abraham Fund Education for a Shared Society Initiative – attempts to command the instructing of Arabic dialect and society for all Jewish understudies in Israel's government funded schools, while advancing Hebrew dialect and society in Arab schools. As of now achieving more than 25,000 primary school-matured kids crosswise over Israel, The Abraham Fund is helping Jewish and Arab adolescents acknowledge and regard the dialect

The United Arab Emirates is home to a rich cultural heritage that has been strongly influenced by its unique environment. The region's varied terrain, desert, oasis, mountains and coast, dictated the traditional lifestyles that evolved over the centuries. A resilience and resourcefulness necessary to survive in these harsh conditions was fostered by society’s age-old tribal structure: each family was traditionally bound by obligations of mutual assistance to his immediate relatives and to the tribe as a whole. Among the tribe an individual's selfless hospitality was the source of his honour and pride. A common religion, Islam, also provided the cement that held society together.

Arab is not a race, but is a group of individuals that are united by their culture and history (ADC, 2014). There are many different variations commonly based on a particular individual’s country of origin such as Arab Americans. Other variations are based on their social class, the level of their education, if they live urbanely or rurally, or the time they have spent in the United States (Lipson & Dubble, 2007). Most Arabs also practice Islamic religion and are Muslim. When working with an Arab or Muslim client, nurses should ask what the client wishes to be referred to so as not to offend them in any way (Lipson & Dubble, 2007).

This importance has had its own effects on the education system, especially the English curriculum. Also because most, if not all Arab teenage students have been educated at an early age, English and Arabic in equal terms. As bilingual students from Kuwait we learned both languages in a similar level.

The culture in the UAE as concerns assertiveness is noted to be high value on assertiveness as this society encourages toughness, competitiveness and assertiveness. This is the reason why they have a general trend of venturing into the almost impossible kinds of architecture as well as standing their grounds when it comes to international politics. This is as a result of the assertive culture that is embedded in them in their early years of childhood.

Last summer, I went on an incredibly fun family vacation to Jordan. However, I have to admit that I definitely was not expecting to have that level of enjoyment during my trip. One of the biggest reasons why I felt this way about returning back to Jordan was because I spoke formal Arabic. Additionally, since all of my family in Jordan only spoke and understood informal Arabic as well as a Jordanian dialect that I was unfamiliar with, I knew that I was going to struggle to communicate with them. Moreover, given that Jordan is a country that primarily speaks an informal Jordanian dialect of Arabic as its first language, I felt as if I was going to be hopeless stranger. In fact, I never really understood the importance of speaking two languages growing up. I had always thought that learning English alone was sufficient enough. Quite simply, I did not realize the impact the Arabic language played in shaping my identity.

Amid of the everchanging history of our world, the culture of a country must be understood. Perhaps what defies culture, and what influences culture to change throughout history. Within a group of people, characteristics is what defies culture. Multiple things can defy a country’s culture such as: ideas, behaviors, customs, beliefs, and traditions that country which is passed from generation to generation. As the world is continuously changing, culture changes along with is. It has evolved due to changes of people’s beliefs, thoughts of the future and advancement of technology. The Kingdom of Bahrain has many attributes to culture, due to its’s main populations of Shi’a and Sunni. Although, focusing on its environment, military capability, and political views.

Despite the widespread presence of English throughout the country, (much like other countries) the actual understanding and ~~ of English is low. In fact, it is estimated only twenty percent to a quarter of the (common) population has a decent and ~~ understanding of the language. It is “sometimes a second, third or even fourth language for large segments of the population.”. Even those who know English may not be speaking it correctly.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) was established 45 years ago, in 1971. However, that short lineage is deeply rooted in culture and affluence. UAE consists of seven states known as Trucial states. These Trucial states also known as Emirates are, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah Umm al - Qaiwain, and Ras al – Khaimah. Their vast growth and substantial success have made them one of the most economically thriving countries in the world. UAE has developed immensely since its birth, especially in the last 20 years. The territory of UAE is extremely rich in oil and natural gases, which are their main exports. Many different ethnicities make up the country’s population, so much so that Emirati citizens have become the minority in their own country. UAE also has a growing military force consisting of Air Defense Artillery, F-16 fighter jets, and heavy armored vehicles. Originally UAE relied on coastal fishing and farming for their main food source, UAE now imports most of its food.
