ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a summary of some of the key issues raised in this book and considers their implications for EFL teaching, learning, and research in the Saudi context. With a view to both the demonstrated strengths and the perceived weaknesses of Saudi EFL research over the past 25 years or so, this chapter identifies the areas which deserve further examination and offers ideas in relation to how future EFL-related research in Saudi Arabia can be streamlined and how a unified and consolidated EFL research program can be achieved. The chapter also considers ways in which EFL teaching and learning practices can be improved and better learning outcomes achieved.
