Our center teaches Arabic as a foreign language. It was -and still- located in the district of Nasr City in Cairo. At first, target students were either those who came from abroad to study in Al-Azhar or Western students – and both were studying Arabic seeking a better understanding of Islam. Then, the circle became larger as many students with different aims came to study to us and it became necessary for us to produce educational materials to suit those different aims.
Teaching Arabic for non speakers of Arabic regardless of their aims, ages or races; and also we aim at cooperating with research foundations in order to develop the teaching methodology and meet the needs of Arabic learners. Our staff is consisted of native speakers of Arabic. They are university graduates from the faculties or the departments of Arabic. All of the teachers are qualified to teach Arabic as a foreign language and they teach Modern Standard Arabic “Fusha ” with the co-operation of educational aids developers.
The teaching methods used at the Center are based on the Audio-Lingual Method with a Communicative approach. This effective method and this approach have been proved successful in foreign language instruction worldwide. Instead of using an intermediary language in teaching foreign language, the Audio-Lingual method requires that only the target language to be used in classroom instruction as well as in study. This method gives equal attention to the development of all the four language skills, starting with Listening, then focusing on Speaking, Reading, and Writing. This method proved highly successful that the student starts speaking Arabic immediately.
The Communicative approach aims at making the student communicate using the target language in real situations. Center also uses numerous teaching aids to improve the learning environment. These aids include: reading selections from various genres, pictures, comic strips, posters, cards, audio tapes, CDs, video tapes, local and international Arabic magazines and newspapers, and recreational trips. With the help of these and other aids, learning Arabic becomes incredibly enjoyable, easy, and appealing to the student.
