As one of the departments of King Saud University (KSU), the Language Unit derives its mission form that of the University. Being an institution of higher learning,  KSU works towards the dissemination  and advancement of knowledge, the education of the community members and serving its society and contributing to the solution of its problems. In fact, KSU has a basic obligation derived from the Kingdom's role to promote Islam and peace worldwide.

The Language Unit contributes to the efforts of the University towards its mission. The Unit serves the KSU colleges and departments by offering the required English courses. It serves the community by providing students with basic language skills and knowledge necessary for communication in the world of work and for enhancing individual development. Such skills are necessary for further studies in areas of specialization, thus contributing to the dissemination and advancement of knowledge. They are also useful in Islamic activities aiming at the promotion of the message of Islam.

Awaiting the Language Unit are great prospects. The development and reorganization of  KSU programs and courses demand positive responses from the Unit regarding the teaching of English in terms of quantity and quality. This is a challenge the Unit has to face successfully. Towards this end, the development of quality teaching and learning materials as well as compatible teaching techniques is a top priority. The Unit looks forward to the day when students can feel privileged by studying there, and when teachers can feel pride in belonging to it.

May Allah help the Unit and the University to succeed in their mission.
