Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is found, throughout the Arab world from Morocco
to Iraq, in the prose of books, newspapers, periodicals and letters. It is also
the spoken language employed in formal public adddress, conferences, over radio
& television, and in religious ceremonial.
It is the language of millions of
Arabs who have enjoyed basic education. Indeed, it gives the Arab peoples of
many countries a sense of identity and an awareness of their common cultural
heritage. On the other hand there exist the various local dialects, which is
spoken at home, among friends, in the market etc.
It is advisable for students who want to acquire a practical knowledge of Arabic to first learn a colloquial dialect and then move on to the modern standard Arabic.
We perceive of language as an entrance to culture, history & society. Therefore, during the language courses, we draw attention to the thematic study of language and culture. So, there is much emphasis on conversation and presentation skills.
