摘要

互联网的扩散、信息技术、全球化以及英语作为全球语言的重要性怎么强调都不为过。人们普遍认为,沙特大学生在学习英语作为外语的过程中,会遇到各种各样的学习挑战。本文探讨了英语语言暴露的关键问题,并假设英语暴露不足是学生学习困难的主要原因。为了调查这一点,我们对卡西姆大学英语与翻译系的50名学生进行了问卷调查,其中既有男性也有女性。调查结果显示,平均而言,学生们对英语的接触程度适中。此外,数据还显示了一个显著的差异,男学生比女学生更多地接触英语。这些结果可以作为沙特大学生英语语言暴露问题的初步探索。他们强调需要在这一领域进一步深入研究,以全面了解语言暴露的动态及其对英语作为外语学习者学习体验的影响。最后,本文提出了未来研究工作的必要性,并概述了增加英语学习者语言接触的初步建议。这些建议旨在为教学实践和策略提供信息,以便在沙特阿拉伯大学的背景下加强英语学习。

The Effect of Exposure Density on EFL Learners' Fluency in Saudi Arabia
The Internet proliferation, information technology, and globalization as well as the importance of English as a global language cannot be overstated. It is widely recognized that Saudi university students, learning English as a foreign language, encounter numerous learning challenges stemming from various factors. This paper delves into the critical issue of English language exposure and postulates that inadequate exposure to English is a central contributor to students' learning difficulties. To investigate this, a questionnaire was administered to a cohort of 50 students, comprising both male and female participants enrolled in the Department of English and Translation at the University of Qassim. The findings from the survey revealed that, on average, the students reported moderate exposure to the English language. Additionally, the data indicated a noteworthy disparity, with male students exhibiting greater exposure to English compared to their female counterparts. These results serve as a preliminary exploration of the issue of English language exposure among Saudi university students. They underscore the need for further in-depth research in this area to comprehensively understand the dynamics of language exposure and its impact on the learning experiences of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners. This concludes by suggesting the imperative for future research endeavours and outlining initial recommendations for augmenting language exposure among EFL learners. These recommendations aim to inform pedagogical practices and strategies that can enhance English language learning in the context of Saudi Arabian universities.
