An Assessment of English Language Proficiency of Kunduz University Teachers

Abstract

This study assesses the English language proficiency of Kunduz University teachers, focusing on their capability to engage in academic discourse in English. The research aims to evaluate English proficiency of the teachers in terms of reading, writing, listening and speaking across various faculties, including Computer Science, Sharia Law, Stomatology, Agriculture, Law and Political Science, Education, Economy, and Veterinary. 105 participants were selected randomly to answer the Likert scale questionnaire that handed over to them through google form. A comprehensive analysis was conducted through SPSS Version24. While some faculty, such as Computer Science and Economy, exhibit relatively higher levels of English proficiency. Others, particularly those in fields like Sharia Law and Stomatology, demonstrate lower proficiency level. These results highlight the need for targeted language development programs to enhance academic collaboration, and improve overall teaching effectiveness in an increasingly globalized academic environment. The study provides a basis for strategic planning in enhancing English language proficiency at the university level.
