Human Resources and Community Services is launching a pilot English learning program for wives of KAUST employees. Classes will begin on April 23 and continue until the end of May 2012.

Please note that a co-payment of 500 SR will be required. The remaining cost of the instructor and learning materials will be paid by KAUST.

Wives of employees (of any non-English native language) who would like to participate in this pilot should register for a placement test. Placement tests are free of charge and seats are limited, so please book early.

The placement tests will take place on Monday, April 16 at the University Library, level 3:

  • 8:30 – 10:00 a.m.
  • 10:00 – 11:30 a.m.
  • 1:30 – 3:00 p.m.
  • 3:00 – 4:30 p.m.

To register, click here and choose the test time that suits you.

I want to know the calendar of the English classes. How many classes in one day and in one week?

Thank you very much.

It will be 6 hours every week. Schedules will be communicated later.

Only “wives”? How about dependent husbands whose native language is not English? “Spouses” would have been more politically correct…
Good idea, thou.
Cheers.

This is a pilot to assess interest and to develop the best format, with this first session limited to only wives.
If successful, plans include an English program (as well as other programs) open to employee spouses and dependents.

Pelin April 10, 2012 - 1:32 pm

Thank you for the clarification.

It is a great idea and I hope that the pilot is successful. But it was very jarring to open an email to see ‘English Classes for Wives.’ It brought me back to the old days in KAUST when all of the HR material was written for ‘the employee and his wife.’

Nicki – please know that the intent of the title isn’t meant to be jarring. Its specificity is to offer the most clarity about the target audience for this pilot program.

Not for “husbands”, I guess?

Hussain Shibli April 10, 2012 - 1:27 pm

Can I know if students’ wives are eligible for theses classes? or not.

HR Learning & Development April 10, 2012 - 2:47 pm

As mentioned above, this pilot is only for employee wives for now. Other plans and programs will be announced accordingly.

JAE April 10, 2012 - 3:55 pm

just curious if there is going to be Arabic learning for the rest of us?

HR Learning & Development April 11, 2012 - 9:47 am

Thank you for this suggestion. At this stage, we are only focusing on the English pilot. After we have evaluated its success, we will consider additional programs.
