Unit of Teaching Arabic to Speakers of Other Languages
About the Unit and Its Role
The Arabic Language Teaching Unit for Non-Native Speakers at Al-Baha University is one of the pioneering academic initiatives established to reflect the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s interest in promoting the Arabic language and strengthening its global presence. The Unit was founded in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which emphasizes the importance of the Arabic language as a means of cultural communication and a bridge that brings nations closer together.
The Unit works to provide comprehensive programs for teaching Arabic at various levels, integrating cultural and social dimensions into the educational process. This offers learners a holistic experience that combines language with Saudi culture, contributing to the realization of Vision 2030 by enabling learners to master Arabic and build global bridges for dialogue and understanding.
This Unit is the result of the great support the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia devotes to the Arabic language and its global dissemination. The Kingdom has launched many initiatives to enhance the teaching of Arabic to non-native speakers and has supported specialized centers and units in Saudi universities, including Al-Baha University, reaffirming its mission to make Arabic a living language for communication, scientific research, and culture.
