The
English Language Wing (formerly the English Language Branch) is the oldest wing
at the Military Language Institute. The wing began holding English
language courses in 1968 with highly qualified staff and adopted a teaching
methodology that included theoretical and practical aspects through the use of
computerized language labs. The teaching staff consists of the best and most
skilled trainers who utilize modern educational methods that create a
favourable environment for students. In addition to language training, the wing is
responsible for simultaneous and consecutive translation tasks. English language training sections were established in
the Military divisions Command (Northern, Eastern, Middle, and Southern) and
the Royal Navy command. Recently, a training program was established for
Mu'tah University cadets; only for the English language specialization
students to enhance their language proficiency through teaching (12) accredited
hours according to the specialization curriculum. The wing conducts a specialized translation course for
officers and non-commissioned officers of the Jordanian Armed Forces. An intensive English language course is also held for
Bachelor of English language degree holders for officers and non-commissioned
officers of the Jordanian Armed Forces. In addition, the wing's staff is qualified through
internal and external courses to enhance the staff's competence level.
New teachers are seconded according to the teacher
secondment standards for the Language Institute command, and the efforts are
underway to second more teachers.
