Abstract
The study aimed to identify the degree of contribution of English language courses in providing graduates with the necessary skills by achieving the specifications of the graduate of the Faculty of Mass Communication required in the labor market, and the degree of their acquisition of the professional skills required in the labor market. It also aimed to explore whether there are differences between the acquisition of labor market skills among graduates of mass media faculties due to variables, type of specialization, number of years of work, and gender. The study achieved these objectives through an applied survey study on an available deliberate sample of (60) single graduates of the Faculty of Mass Communication at the Middle East University who practice media work in the labor market. The study concluded that there were no statistically significant differences between the degree of contribution of English language courses to the graduates’ acquisition of labor market skills as the graduate of the Faculty of Mass Communication proved to have obtained the required skills in the labor market according to the variables of gender, specialization, place of work, and years of work. The study also showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the contribution of English language courses in providing graduates with the vocational skills required in the labor market, according to the variables of gender, specialization, place of work, and years of work, specifically for the variable years of work.
