Arabic language teaching department

Mission, Vision and Goals

Mission of the Department:

Arabic Language has contributed significantly to the development of human civilization, while most local languages have only been useful in everyday communication and have not been able to hold the seeds of civilization or even deliver some of its products, i.e. arts, science, and knowledge.

Arabic language has established itself as one of the world's main living languages, and has been used by many people and nations for about fifteen centuries. As a language, Arabic has been up to the challenges imposed by the ever-developing language of science, knowledge and civilization. It has evolved from a language of one nation into a language of several nations that seeks to save its identity and develop it at the same time. For learners of Arabic, it is the language of intellect and culture.
