The current study analyses two different discourses in the Saudi context: the Saudi Vision 2030 (SV2030) document, an overview of the strategic framework put forward by the Saudi government, and a set of statements about the Vision from University English language departments. These represent a political and institutional discourse, respectively. This CDA mainly seeks to uncover the potential role of English, namely English Language Teaching (ELT) and English as a Global Language (EGL), in realising the national SV2030 programme.
