The purpose of the conference is to draw together, under one roof, the stakeholders, academics and teachers in the Saudi prep-year English programmes to exchange experiences, challenge current practice, discuss best practice and suggest future direction. It is hoped that the papers presented, by both international speakers and national academics will inform, challenge, and prove to be a catalyst for development in the English Language Centres in Saudi Arabia.
