المستخلص

This study aims at determining the English language prerequisites of Emirati police cadets. The study was conducted on 70 cadets from Sharjah Police Science Academy, UAE. A six-part questionnaire was developed to identify what the cadets perceived as their prerequisites from their English as a Foreign Language (EFL) course. The results of the study show that improving their listening, speaking, and writing skills were ranked as most important by the cadets, and they also stressed an urgent need for studying English for security purposes (e.g., the language needed to enhance their job performance and their chances of promotion). Relevant interpretations and recommendations are offered
