| Abstract
|
:
|
This study investigated the collective experience of repatriation, as reported by preadolescent, Saudi Arabian boys between the ages of 10 and 12, who had lived for a minimum of one year in a country outside of the Arab world, and had subsequently returned to Saudi Arabia. Eleven Saudi Arabian boys were interviewed to gather their accounts of their lives before, during, and after their time abroad. They were also asked to discuss their experiences surrounding repatriation and their readjustment to living in Saudi Arabia. Students were also asked to provide advice relating to how schools can adjust their programs to facilitate the readjustment process. Findings concluded that students of this age group are relatively resilient. The consensus of the participants was that remedial Arabic-language classes and a buddy system would provide the greatest benefit to newly repatriated students.
