تعليم اللغة العربية للناطقين بغيرها بين الأغراض الخاصة و أغراض الحياة : مقاربة نظرية و تطبيقية و آفاق مستقبلية

الملخص EN

The study aims at conducting a detailed comparison between the teaching of Arabic language for non-native speakers for special and general purposes.

A field study was conducted on a sample of non-native Arabic language learners at the Languages Center at Yarmouk university to identify the learners’ ability to determine their purpose and need of studying the Arabic language.

The descriptive analytical methods were used in the applied part of the study through a limited number of questionnaires.

The most salient conclusions of the study are: lack of unified Arab strategy similar to European strategy for teaching live languages (including Arabic); dominance of individual visions, provided by specialized scholars or small research centres, concerning theoretical and applied aspects on creating programs as well as the lack of integrated and collective efforts that accumulate experiences to benefit from them; the clear shortage in applied studies that offer programs for teaching Arabic, for special purposes; overlapping between concept to understand teaching Arabic for life and Arabic for special purposes; dominance of ad hoc approach in Arabic language for all Arabic language teaching programs for foreigners, as a result of the lack of unified Arab strategy.
