  Message From Head of Program

Arabic is spoken by approximately 420 million people across nearly 22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa. As one of the common languages of international culture and trade, Arabic plays an important role in global interaction. Learning Arabic contributes significantly to individuals’ professional and social lives. Due to the wide geographical area in which it is spoken, Arabic possesses substantial cultural and historical significance. In recent years, with the increasing political importance of the region, Arabic has become one of the leading foreign languages studied by individuals involved in politics and international business. Our department aims to provide the youth of our country with Arabic language education at internationally recognized standards. In addition to developing students’ intellectual, emotional, and social competencies, the department seeks to train Arabic language teachers who are knowledgeable about both their own culture and the cultures of Arabic-speaking countries. Graduates are expected to be able to convey their cultural values effectively, uphold democratic principles, respect human rights, communicate and collaborate with global counterparts, and achieve excellence in teaching, research, and practice. The ultimate goal of the department is to educate Arabic teachers with strong research skills who can serve as exemplary models at national, regional, and global levels.
