Arabic Language For Non-Native Speakers

The Arabic language represents the timeless and ancient civilization of the Arabs, reflecting their rich culture from pre-Islamic times to the present. It is a living language that encompasses a wide range of human societies in a vibrant geographic region that captivates the world's attention. With increasing global interest in learning Arabic for various purposes, it has become the language of over a billion Muslims. Given the lack of quality Arabic language learning programs, the Open University of Jerusalem has built an international electronic program for non-native speakers, achieving its beneficiaries' goals in a scientific and practical manner.

It also played a vital role in the European Renaissance through translation efforts during the Crusades, leading to its increasing presence and popularity worldwide. Today, the desire to learn Arabic is driven by a combination of personal and objective factors. On the personal side, many non-Arab enthusiasts and intellectuals seek to satisfy their thirst for knowledge, explore Arab culture, thoughts, and diverse heritage. Objectively, the global cultural, political, intellectual, and linguistic globalization has made language learning an essential characteristic of the current generation, a prerequisite for coexistence, and the foundation for multi-dimensional understanding and dialogue between peoples and civilizations. As language is the most sophisticated means of communication and dialogue, it is essential to develop Arabic language learning and teaching methods, leveraging technological advancements and in harmony with the university's vision of international electronic education.
