In
this research, I aim to carry out an empirical study investigating the
effectiveness of the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in the
learning of English as a foreign language (EFL) in foundation level pupils
(5-6 years old) in Saudi Arabia. I have chosen this topic because there is as
yet relatively little empirical research in this area, and because EFL in
Saudi Arabia has, in recent years, become seen to be a more important part of
every child’s general education. I believe that ICT can benefit a child’s
educational development in general and especially in the case of second
language acquisition.

Within last decade there has been a push for use of
ICT based education tools across all levels. However, there has been a lack
of research on how ICT interventions affect students’ ability to learn. For
young children the focus need to be on improving experience of learning and
boosting their learning skills. This paper looks at how ICT intervention
affects Saudi preschool school children’s experience of learning English as
Foreign Language (EFL). Data was collected using English test scores and
student observation. Findings of this paper indicate that ICT can be useful
in teaching EFL but it needs to be used keeping in mind the abilities of the
students.

Children’s experiences of engaging with ICT
in learning EFL: A case study from Saudi Arabia

ملخص المشاركة:

The
proposed study focuses on the use of Information and Communications
Technology (ICT) in the learning of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in
Saudi Arabia.  The proposed programme
of research aims to explore children and teacher’ experiences of the use of
ICT in the learning EFL in foundation level pupils (5-6 years old) in private
schools in Saudi Arabia. To achieve such aim, the proposed programme of
research has the following objectives, namely: (1) to explore ways in which
teachers can make use of ICT in the learning of EFL by preschool children;
and (2) to investigate whether the use of ICT is effective in promoting
preschool children’s English language learning. This research adopts a mixed
methods approach involving a single Saudi Arabian preschool setting in
Riyadh. The methods employed include English language testing, interviews and
classroom observations; these methods could determine the actual level of the
use of ICT, how it is organized and employed by teachers and children in the
classroom setting, and the effect of ICT in preschool education on the
children’s English language development. 
Data collected for the Children’s tests which consisted of test scores
for the English Language Test and the English Assessment Test were analysed
using a series of multivariate analyses of variance using the general linear
model program in SPSS, whereas data collected from interview and observation
of both teacher and children participants which consisted of field notes were
coded and analysed qualitatively using ATLAS.
