The King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language (KSGAAL) wrapped up its Arabic Language Month program in India yesterday.
This month-long initiative, held in New Delhi and Kerala, featured a range of academic activities in collaboration with various educational institutions. The aim was to improve Arabic language teaching, enhance teacher skills, and boost the language's importance.
Secretary-General of KSGAAL Dr. Abdullah bin Saleh Al-Washmi expressed his gratitude to Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan, the Minister of Culture and chairman of KSGAAL's board of trustees, for his unwavering support. This backing significantly helped the program meet its goals and align with the Human Capability Development Program under Saudi Vision 2030.
During the program, representatives met with universities like Jawaharlal Nehru University, the University of Kerala, and other academic institutions in India offering Arabic language programs.
Discussions covered various topics such as testing methods, teacher evaluation, technology in teaching Arabic, program design, and teaching challenges.
The program included training courses for teachers and learners, focusing on modern teaching strategies and language skills development. It also featured a scientific symposium discussing Saudi Arabia's efforts in this field, curriculum challenges, and linguistic issues.
Moreover, the contest champions from the competition held by KSGAAL alongside Jawaharlal Nehru University were celebrated. Additionally, the Hamza Exam, an Arabic proficiency test, was conducted with the cooperation of Jawaharlal Nehru University and Kerala University.
This program helps the academy reach its aims by promoting its Arabic teaching initiatives to non-native speakers, showcasing Saudi Arabia's global contributions to Arabic and its disciplines, providing direct training for teachers to improve their skills, and advancing the educational achievements of Arabic learners.
The Arabic Language Month program in India is one of KSGAAL's global educational initiatives for teaching Arabic. Similar programs have taken place in various countries like Brazil, Uzbekistan, Indonesia, and China, connecting Arabic language enthusiasts worldwide.
The academy continues this program globally as part of its language and cultural efforts, fostering a sense of global community among Arabic language learners and educators.
This program in India highlights KSGAAL's vital role in promoting Arabic language projects and teaching to non-native speakers.
It inspires similar initiatives, fosters collaboration with organizations worldwide, supports the language's growth, raises awareness, and facilitates its teaching and learning both within and outside Saudi Arabia.
