YANBU INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE

The English Language Center provides competency based learning in the four main English language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. This focus arises as a result of the specific requirements of industry in the fields of engineering, management and information technology.


We aim to create a learning community where everyone participates in the attainment of our objectives in a collaborative atmosphere that contributes to the evolution and continual development of the Center. In order to facilitate this we have put together a comprehensive series of language learning programs that develop the communicative competencies required to function effectively in multilingual business and industrial environments. Our programs involve an initial assessment stage in which students are ranked according to their level of proficiency, prior to admission to the College. We use appropriate curriculum that has been selected and developed to match the various ability levels of students. This curriculum is delivered by highly qualified and skilled English Foreign Language teachers using a variety of educational materials and advanced technology to enhance learning. The Center liaises with local industries and other departments of the College to ensure that the content of our programs corresponds to their exact needs. We have a well-knit coordination system that ensures that our programs are run smoothly and professionally. We also have integrated assessment systems that effectively evaluate teachers’ and students’ performance. Thus, high standards are promoted and maintained.
