E-Learning of Foreign Language for the Employees and Majority of Countries Requirements

Abstract

It is doubtless that migrant workers' diverse cultural and professional backgrounds and their presence in different sectors make such a group of people a cornerstone of building any country and maintaining its heritage and land intact. Therefore, the necessitous that one has to do in this kind of situation is to create an avenue, most especially e-learning, to teach them the language and culture of the host country. Almost all Eastern and Western countries usually require a good command of their own language and culture before granting a work permit or starting work, while the Arab nations seem less concern about its own tongue; foreign employees are recruited without obliging to learn Arabic. Thus, this study aims to shed light on the international requirements for learning the host-country’s language and the need for e-learning to achieve it. The research comprises of introduction about importance of learning the business language, international requirements for learning the host country’s language and the impact of achieving it on individual and society. The research concludes by proposing a viable solution to promoting learning business language among expatriates; such as providing the newcomers with e-courses that can help them learn the business language and expose them to Arab culture and heritage. This step will certainly add excellent value to culture, identity, and ideals at the domestic level and builds bridges for communication abroad. It could also open-up career prospects for professionals in the Arabic language and literature.
