The english language is the global language and it is high time for Gulf countries to learn and use English as their second language. It will be beneficial to improve communication in business, technology, education, and others as far as the global market and the economy are concern. English is the only language that other foreigners and expats in the gulf can use to communicate. It is very important to study and learn it to become effective speakers and global communicators of English.

depending on the line of work, whether it is government or private and also if it is international or local. 

in the government the main language is arabic as most local citizens do not familiarize with english on a daily basis as such most letters, orders or paper work is done in arabic. 

in private companies for example engineering and sales companies, they extremely require english as most private companies work with international companies be it for materials or equipment or what so ever so they tend to base the work force atmosphere in english. As a result within private companies locally they also tend to communicate in english even when the employees in both companies are arabs. 

finally theres the sales representatives, in this line of work its preferable to know both arabic and english as on a daily basis you will require to socialize with all types of customers and should be ready.
