Abstract: 
This is a literature review short paper attempting to address and investigate the role played by discourse analysis (DA) in the Saudi Arabian context mainly through academic settings. The study reveals that the Ministry of Education does benefit from the application of DA in various settings most notably in curriculum design. The paper also argues that more attention should be paid to the teaching DA at universities in Saudi Arabia.
