Learning Arabic enables learners to communicate with those in neighbouring countries and around the world. Proficiency in other languages is important to help the nation extend its participation in the global economy. It helps the learner to understand the culture and traditions of other countries and to appreciate the richness of diversity in the world. It widens horizons, raises aspirations and enables young people to become global citizens. Language learning provides a wider communication base for the learners and increases their job opportunities beyond the borders.

Languages make an important contribution to the development of all five of the generic skills. Language learning involves a high degree of critical thinking as the learner build his/her understanding and establishes cross-links between the languages he/she is learning and those with which they are
familiar. Communication is intrinsic to language learning with frequent speaking and listening
activities involving paired work and groups of different sizes. Hence co-operation is developed
along with communication.

Language reflects the culture of the communities in which they are spoken. Language learning invariably
leads to consideration of culture and heritage associated with both the target language and the home nation.

Teaching and Learning Arabic

The thrust of the new syllabuses is experiential and towards deeper understanding. The focus in Arabic is on the development of understanding through experimentation, scientific enquiry and rational
thought. In common with established best practice around the world, language learning takes place principally in the target language and the principal focus is on communication. Use of new technologies should be made as frequently as possible.

The new syllabuses provide the learner with a wide range of contexts in which to develop this
understanding, and these contexts are designed to engage the interest of the learner and to provide
opportunities to build life- related knowledge, experience and skills. The Teacher is encouraged to
go beyond the textbooks and provide as many meaningful contexts as possible. The generic skills
have been integrated throughout the curriculum and can only be acquired through active approaches
