The King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language has started its specialized academic program on teaching the Arabic language in collaboration with Indiana University in the US.
The program seeks to develop teachers’ skills as part of the second phase of the Arabic Language Teacher Training Project for Non-Native Speakers, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Set to run until April 8, the program will explore new advanced teaching techniques.
The Academy’s Secretary-General, Dr. Abdullah bin Saleh Al-Washmi, stated that the academy aims to boost the quality of teaching and expand the use of linguistic proficiency tests, such as the Academic Hamza Test.
Al-Washmi also noted that the current cooperation with Indiana University stands as a testament to the Academy’s dedication to exchanging academic expertise.
This cooperation will provide the academy with an exclusive opportunity to leverage from the best practices in teaching the Arabic language at the international level.
The program includes an introductory course on language tests and a specialized course on training Arabic teachers for non-native speakers.
Through modern teaching strategies, the program focuses on developing teachers’ professional performance.
This remarkable milestone follows successful programs in Uzbekistan, Indonesia, China, India, France, Brazil, Thailand, and Malaysia.
