Dear Students,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Faculty of Language Studies (FLS) at the Arab Open University, Bahrain Branch. Whether you are beginning your academic journey or advancing your pursuit of excellence, you are now part of a dynamic and diverse learning community dedicated to empowering minds and shaping futures.
The Faculty of Language Studies proudly offers two academic programs: an undergraduate program in English Language and Literature, and a postgraduate program leading to the Master’s degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (MA in TEFL). Both programs are designed to provide you with strong linguistic, analytical, and critical thinking skills essential for success in today’s interconnected world.
At FLS, we believe that language is more than a medium of communication – it is a pathway to understanding cultures, expressing ideas, and building connections across societies. Supported by a committed team of faculty members, innovative learning resources, and a flexible open-learning environment, we strive to ensure that you receive an enriching and rewarding educational experience.
As you embark on this new chapter, I encourage you to engage deeply with your studies, participate in academic and extracurricular activities, and take full advantage of the opportunities available to you. Your time at AOU is not only about completing a degree; it is about discovering your potential and preparing to make a meaningful impact in your community and beyond.
Welcome to FLS. Welcome to AOU Bahrain. Together, let us make this journey remarkable.
Warm regards,
Dr. Mohammad Shaaban Deyab
Dean, Faculty of Language Studies
