Teacher preparation and training play a crucial role in the educational and pedagogical process. Educational studies emphasize that the teacher’s role constitutes 60% of the influence on student formation, with the remaining 40% attributed to other educational elements. Recognizing the substantial disparity between teaching a language to native speakers and non-native speakers is essential, yet few within the field of teaching Arabic to non-native speakers grasp this difference. Consequently, we assert that teaching the Arabic language demands educators who are specially prepared in various areas, including methods for teaching second languages, understanding the distinction between language acquisition and learning, possessing skills for teaching second languages, and leveraging applied linguistics in language instruction. Additionally, the expertise of Arab specialists and professionals in this field is indispensable.
In collaboration with the Interactive Institute, the Arabic Language Academy offers a specialized course: Certified Teacher Certificate for Arabic Language Instructors. This program includes a series of targeted courses designed to equip educators with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in teaching Arabic to non-native speakers. The aim is to enhance educational efficiency, foster global leadership, and cultivate a pool of trained and qualified professionals in the field of teaching the Arabic language. Through this certification, we strive to elevate the standard of Arabic language instruction and ensure a more effective learning experience for non-native speakers.
