Abstract

This study will explore the English language proficiency of fire fighters in the country of Kuwait given that expats outnumber citizens in this country. This matter is serious and in need of immediate attention. In case of fire, non-Arabic speakers who live and work in Kuwait will face difficulties in communicating to the fire department whether it is emergency operation rooms or rescue teams. English competence is crucial in this occupation, and it should be taught as a mandatory course in the Fire Fighters Academy. This study will investigate whether English is taught in this academy and whether the English courses offered are sufficient or useful. The literature review will be visited to fill a gap (delete this sentence). Additionally, necessary changes must be made in the Fire Fighters Academy and training centers. Data will be collected through surveys and interviews from firefighters and then analyzed through SPSS. This paper explores the actual number of English-speaking firefighters to improve the overall safety measures and procedures in one of the most essential security fields in the country.
