I have been taught to think, and that may be this department’s greatest achievement.
-Farah Nada, English Language and Literature Major
Majoring in English is by far the best life decision I have ever made. The courses the English program at AUS offers continue to teach me how to be a creative, articulate and vigorous member in our socially networked world.
-Nahla al-Subeihi, English Language and Literature Major
I love what I study; and the English program at AUS has challenged me every semester. I've had wonderful professors who are a joy to learn from, and who lead interesting discussions in the classroom. One thing I highly value about the study of literature is that it explores a wide variety of subjects that intrigue me – such as psychology, philosophy, history, anthropology and sociology – within a single field of study.
-Bashaer Al Araf, English Language and Literature Major
Studying at AUS has opened unexpected doors of opportunities after my graduation. I joined the AUS Office of Development and Alumni Affairs immediately after my graduation, where I work as Alumni Coordinator. I couldn’t have done that without the help of my English professors at AUS. I’m really grateful to them!
-Dana Abu Aisha, English Language and Literature Major
My learning experience in the AUS [MATESOL Program] was the best one ever. I can say that my teaching philosophy, perspectives and practices have dramatically changed since I joined the program.

I think the AUS MA TESOL program is excellent because it's contextualized to serve the needs of Arab ESL;learners and English;language teachers working in the Middle East.
