The Simplest Way To Improve Your Arabic Writing

If you are serious in your Arabic learning, you obviously need to follow a plan focused around your learning goals.

Just like with reading and speaking skills, you will need to follow a structured method to improve your Arabic writing skills.

I tried here to avoid the general writing advice that applies to writing in all foreign languages, focusing on the specifics of Arabic language composition.

I will share with you the practical tips you can use to practice writing in Modern Standard Arabic.

Please note that what I am sharing with you here does not apply to the colloquial dialects of Arabic.

I will also show you how to use the Arabic keyboard, develop your writing strategy, request writing assignments from your instructor if you have one, and spell correctly without looking it up online in addition to other tips you can incorporate in your learning.

Table of Contents

1.Read.. a lot!

Reading Arabic content is a prerequisite to good Arabic writing. To be able to generate output (write), you will need to be exposed to a good amount and quality of Arabic reading (input) at a regular frequency .

Picking up a routine of reading Arabic content that is within your level or slightly above it will enrich your vocabulary.

A suitable reading material is any content you can read and understand 80% of it. Anything less than that is a little too advanced for you at the current stage. To develop a Arabic reading skills, make sure you read this article .

It is important that you are intentional in your reading. That is to say you have to selectively read material that will help you with your language expression needs.

For instance, if you are a beginner, try to read content that will help you write about yourself, your family and personal interests to equip yourself with the writing vocabulary and tools to meet your written expression needs as a beginner.

As you progress, try to vary your reading content to cover different types of themes and styles such as comparative, argumentative, narration, instructions , to name a few, so that you can emulate them when you write.

2.Add the Arabic keyboard on your devices

In addition to practicing writing on a notepad the traditional way, it is equally important to add an Arabic keyboard on your phone and electronic devices.

If you have not done it yet, use this detailed tutorial to add the Arabic keyboard to your iphone and other devices.

While handwriting will give you a kinetic experience in learning how to connect the letters together, the Arabic keyboard will provide you with a convenient way to practice Arabic composition.

You can use your phone Arabic keyboard to type a casual short text message or a newly encountered term or type up a small paragraph during your daily commute or lunch break.

By incorporating this small adjustment in your daily routine, you are turning the new skill of Arabic typing into a second nature, further enhancing your Arabic writing ability.

3. Mimic writings you like.

There is a huge lack of tested strategies in teaching Arabic writing. In the Arab world, dictation or orthography was almost the only writing exercise taught in grade schools in the Arab world.

Composition was never drilled as methodologically as it is in French or English, except for the traditional breakdown of the introduction , body and conclusion .

This means you will have to be proactive in learning how to write in Arabic. You will need to select your favorite writing style or author(s) and try to emulate it and hone that skillset as you go.

Certain Arabic news sites, like Doha-based Aljazeera TV and London-based Saudi daily As-Sharq al-Awsat , adopt modern writing styles. You can visit one or both websites for your daily dose of Arabic news and observe their writing style and word choice.

Unlike traditional Arab writers, the two above-mentioned sites use a linear informative style with a minimal editorial touch due to their worldwide audiences.

As you progress and build up your proficiency, you can move up to reading literature if you desire.

4. Adopt the multiple drafts approach.

If you are learning Arabic in a classroom setting and you are not being challenged to write in Arabic, you should raise the issue with your instructor and politely ask for the opportunity to produce writing essays.

Ideally the teacher will adopt the multiple drafts method . You submit your first draft, and the instructor would return it to you with comments on points that need improvement or more elaboration until you submit your third and final draft.

This method prevents you from procrastinating and allows you to display your early thinking and analysis, which could disappear if you wait until the last minute to submit a rushed write-up.

Early thinking allows the instructor to guide your writing attempts early on in the process before the pressure of deadlines starts piling up.

Also, by starting early, you focus on delivering good content, which makes for a more enjoyable experience in writing what you have to write. It also provides you with opportunities to self-critique , improve your paper and re-submit.

This process will consequently help you hone your Arabic writing skills because it forces you to apply your analytical thinking on your own writing.

5. Incorporate the terminology and rules you learned.

Take everything you learn about Arabic as parts of a whole, and always think of the larger picture which eventually revolves around communicating effectively in Arabic.

As you learn new grammar rules and memorize new vocabulary from reading and listening to Arabic content, make a deliberate effort to put everything you learn into practice.

Incorporate in your writing a nice phrase or idiom you picked up recently and recall the grammatical and spelling rules you have been learning.

In the Arabic language, there is a rule for everything. If you can’t recall the rule, look it up. For instance, if you have to use a word that contains the hamza (ء), see the rule that determines its placement such as its vowel ( harakat ) and that of the letter that precedes it instead of just looking up online how it is spelled.

As a general rule, if you try to memorize word spellings, you will keep looking them up online; if you grasp the rule that governs the spelling, you will rarely have to look up a word. All you have to do is recall the spelling rule.

For instance, if you have to write the hamza (ء) with a sukun vowel ْ , the rule says that if it’s preceded by a kassra vowel it should be spelled as ئ as in بِئْر ( a well).

By grasping this rule, you will never have to look up how to write hamza with a sukun vowel when preceded by a kassra vowel.

6. Consider your audience.

One thing about the Arab culture is that formalities and hierarchy are important, and the use of Arabic language in communication mirrors that. Therefore, it is very important to consider your audience as you attempt to write a letter, an email or even a text message.

If you are writing a formal letter or communique, you want to make sure you refer to the person you are addressing in the second person plural. Not only it shows that you respect the other party, but also demonstrates that you know enough about the culture to use the proper form.

You also want to use a bit of flowery and deferential style as you address government employees and highly placed people.

For example, use صاحب السعادة or جنابكم الموقر — which roughly translates to “Your respected excellency” — in official communication with Arab recipients.

This may sound unreasonable, or even laughable, in your native language, but this is the right register to use in formal communication and official letters.

The Arab culture ranks high in the Power Distance Index (PDI) , a measure used by some sociologists. This means that Arabs respect and accept the hierarchical order that is set in their societies. As a learner of Arabic, you may want to show that you understand that.

Similarly, if you are writing to someone with a PhD, you should address the person as Doctor So & So (الدكتور); if you are writing to an engineer, you address him as Engineer So & So (المهندس).

7. Write regularly and solicit feedback.

Long-term consistency beats short-term intensity. Bruce Lee

The ideal frequency of writing practice is to do a little bit everyday over a long period of time instead of intense irregular sessions.

Three or four short writing sessions a week are more effective than a three-hour session once a week.

Make sure you ask for feedback on your Arabic speaking proficiency from qualified individuals, such as your instructor, educated native speakers, and even supportive peers who are familiar with your learning track.

Asking for feedback also means that you should take it as an opportunity to develop and improve without dwelling on your shortcomings.

Proceed with caution though. What you need is constructive criticism that can help you improve your speaking. Avoid asking negative or unqualified individuals who may demotivate you.

8. Build a repertoire of useful verbs, descriptions, and conjunctions

You may find that you have a tendency to selectively pick your vocabulary based on what you find easy, difficult or cool or even fun to the ear.

Although this is not a very bad habit, you want to make sure you are intentional in collecting the vocabulary that will help with your conversational needs.

Make an effort to be deliberate in picking up functional verbs, phrases, adjectives and linking words that will help you with telling a story, describing a person, comparing ideas or making a conclusion.

If you are lucky and have a good instructor, you may participate in guided conversational sessions built around specific themes and situations in accordance with your speaking abilities and objectives.

A good use of vocabulary will not only leave a positive impression on your interlocutors but will also show what kind of an Arabic learner you are.

9. Plan ahead and use and outline

For writing structure and planning, you can use the traditional writing methods. Start with general ideas and work your way into the small details.

Jot down your main ideas and start with your subheadings first. This will help you remain organized and focused on your topic.

Remember that language is just a tool to convey meanings and ideas. Once you establish an outline to organize your main points and subheadings, you start using your vocabulary and own style to translate the ideas into words.

Since your purpose is to improve your written expression, don’t give too much attention to the ideas at the expense of form.

The whole point is to practice the grammar and spelling rules you have been learning to come up with a coherent and easy to follow essay.

10. Don’t be afraid of writing

Finally, enjoy your status as a foreign language student and write without fear or anxiety of being judged. Expectations from you as a language student are not as high as what’s expected of you in your native language.

Be bold and borrow a thick skin if you don’t have one. Try to write using your own style while you maintain good grammar, spelling and proper form.

You will of course make mistakes, but what’s the big deal? Mistakes create the best learning opportunities in learning Arabic or any foreign language.

Just like in other languages, your writing will only become better with regular practice over time.

It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Happy writing!

7 Practical Steps to Improve Arabic Reading

Four Simple Tips to Improve Your Essay Writing Skills in Arabic

root: ق-و-ل / noun / plural: مَقالات /definition: essay, article

So, you’ve studied Arabic for a while now. Simple sentences are old news (i.e. you’re silently pleading for your teacher not to go over jumlah ismiyyah yet again) and you’ve got a decent collection of relevant words all memorised. So you’re all set when your teacher asks you to write an essay about the topic in Arabic…right?

“Wrong!” says the fear in your eyes when you see the word count, as minuscule as it may be; a few hundred words in your native language definitely doesn’t seem as daunting as this .

It’s almost as if writing an essay in our target language makes us forget everything we’ve ever learnt about essays. And writing, unfortunately.

But there’s no need for stress—here’s four easy tips to simplify the process:

1 Think In Arabic

Often, when we’re writing in our target language, we tend to think of the exact sentence we want to produce in our native language then essentially try to translate it as pen hits paper. That’s where the problem comes in.

Trying to write via the process of translation is much more difficult and will most likely make your writing sound unnatural.

Instead, focus on what idea you want to convey and use the Arabic words and structures that you already know to express it. Much easier.

2 Learn “Copy and Paste” Phrases

One effective way to make your writing sound more sophisticated (and, well, to use up more of the word count) is to learn phrases that you can slot into pretty much any essay.

For example, here’s two simple phrases that I found whilst reading through Arabic articles: مهّد/يُمهِّد الطريق لِـ (“to pave the way for”) and على حافة الاِنهِيار (“on the verge of collapse”).

These phrases really came in handy during my writing tasks and exams at university since I could use them in the context of various topics. (A lot of things are on the verge of collapse, apparently).

3 Punctuate !

Okay, so maybe this was just me, but while my essays in English would be full of a plethora of punctuation, my Arabic essays would be lucky to get a comma thrown in. I think it probably took me three years to even get a bracket down on paper.

So throw those commas in! And the semicolons, colons, dashes, etc…

4 Remember What You Know About Essays

Think structure, connectives, varying sentence lengths, creating interest, clarity of expression.

There may be slight differences in certain aspects of writing style between English and Arabic, but don’t forget what you already know about writing essays in general. And definitely try to use Arabic texts as a source from which you can replicate structures and styles.

And, finally, remember that improvement takes practice —so keep writing .

If you have any other tips for writing Arabic essays, or any phrases that you yourself like to use, please do share them in the comments!

Edit: the book How to Write in Arabic (which I talked in the post Arabic Books on My Bookshelf ) has great guidelines for writing different types of text in Arabic—including a section for those “copy and paste” phrases!

Teaching Students About the Seven Wonders of the World

2024’s campus novels and dark academia for back-to-school season, the modern fairies, colm tóibín on james baldwin’s enduring, international influence, a century of james baldwin, true crime and transcendentalists: when designing a book cover takes you on a long strange trip, book review: ‘hum,’ by helen phillips, book review: ‘mama in the moon,’ by doreen cronin, and ‘sometimes we fall,’ by randall de sève, lit hub daily: august 2, 2024, bret anthony johnson on creating a story’s foundation, why more k-12 schools should teach the arabic language.

By Kelly Doffing

From improving memory to increasing global understanding, the benefits of learning a foreign language are abundant. As globalization continues and we progress toward a more connected global community, the importance of learning a second language is not only beneficial, but also essential. The U.S. Census reports that only 21 percent of Americans speak a language other than English (at home) , yet 75 percent of the world’s population does not have a basic understanding of English.

It is imperative that students be given the opportunity to study a second language in order to ensure that the next generation is equipped to be global citizens who are able to cross geographic and cultural boundaries to solve global problems.

Why we need more Arabic in K-12 classrooms

According to Ethnologue.com , Arabic is the fifth most spoken language in the world and, despite a growing importance of the Middle East in international affairs, there is a shortage of qualified Arabic-language educators in the United States. So, what are schools in the United States doing to further the study and teaching of Arabic?

Qatar Foundation International (QFI) is a U.S.-based not-for-profit dedicated to connecting cultures and advancing global citizenship through education. QFI conducted a survey of school administrators of Arabic-language programs to look at the various challenges, benefits, and logistics of offering Arabic. Between December 2012 and October 2013, the Arabic Language and Culture Program of Qatar Foundation International conducted a phone survey of 201 U.S. K-12 public and public charter schools that teach Arabic. Of the 106 responses, 84 schools self reported that they currently offer Arabic classes.

The survey revealed three key takeaways for current Arabic-language programs as well as for schools considering the implementation of such programs:

The teacher is critical for the success of the Arabic program. Schools rely on teachers to recruit students to learn Arabic and to conduct outreach events. Schools cited finding a quality teacher and recruiting and retaining students as two of the biggest challenges for offering Arabic. Consequently, twenty-four percent of schools that discontinued their Arabic programs did so because the teacher left or retired. One schools administrator advised, “Getting the correct teacher is the most important aspect [of the Arabic program]; you can do many things like market the program or recruit, but if you don’t have a solid teacher, the program will die.” The field of K-12 Arabic needs more highly trained, certified teachers who are passionate about working with children. Programs such as Teacher Fellowships to fund Arabic teacher study and certification, grants to current teachers for classroom needs and professional development, awards to celebrate excellence, and partnerships with leaders in foreign language education can all serve to increase the number and quality of qualified K-12 Arabic teachers, provide ongoing teacher training to those teachers already in the profession, and support classroom needs and innovation.
There is an urgent need for high-quality curricula, resources, and materials appropriate for use at the K-12 level. Many current textbooks are intended for university, private, or international students and do not meet national or state standards. Administrators noted that schools offering Arabic are “on the cutting edge,” so teachers have to learn to develop their own curricula. Most teachers develop their curricula by combining material from different textbooks, online resources, other teachers, and their own self-developed materials. The dissemination of standards-based curricula through teacher-to-teacher sharing websites, such as the QFI-supported Al-Masdar , can help Arabic teachers to identify effective student engagement techniques and ensure quality content.
Getting buy-in from the community and administration is essential. The survey found that 68 percent of Arabic programs are less than five years old. Without local support, Arabic programs cannot get off the ground or become sustainable. Schools that are looking to start programs must first engage with local communities and communicate with parents, encourage students, and gain acceptance from the stakeholders. Schools choose to offer Arabic language for students’ benefit, pointing to the fact that the U.S. government has identified Arabic as a critical language of strategic value. Administrators say that their Arabic programs aim to increase cultural understanding and open up opportunities for students. For these schools, there are resources available – including videos such as “ The Benefits of Learning Arabic ,” which consists of interviews with multiple administrators, teachers, and students to show how learning Arabic benefits students and the global community.

The survey revealed that the number of Arabic programs has dramatically increased over the past 15 years. School administrators reported that as a result of their Arabic programs, students demonstrated increased global understanding and excitement for the language. Many administrators commented on the opportunities the program opened up for students, the school, and the community. One administrator noted, “It is a feather in our cap to have an Arabic program, especially since we are the only high school in the district to offer the language.” Another remarked that the most rewarding aspect of their Arabic program was, “to see kids who would have not normally pursued something different because… it’s from a different part of the world. Then they explore it and get excited by the language and learn about the similarities and universal truths that they share with Arabs.”

For more information – such as what administrators noted as the most rewarding aspects of Arabic programs and advice from administrators about Arabic-language programs – read QFI’s full report.

6 Resources Every IB Arabic B Student Needs To Use

IB Arabic Language B may be challenging because the use of classical Arabic language in our day to day life is uncommon. Coming from a non-native speaker herself, it is definitely not impossible to do well in because the key to proficiency in language is practice and application. I have learnt classical Arabic for 11 years now, and it has been a roller coaster of experience but if I can do well in it so can you!

Here are some resources and tips that I found useful in my IB Arabic learning journey you can use to improve your grammar and vocabularies so that you may use them in your essay writings and improve your Arabic skills:

1. Mawdoo3.com

Mawdoo3.com is a comprehensive online Arabic content publisher that covers various topics that may be useful in essay writings. When used effectively, this tool can expand your vocabulary and prevent you from running out of ideas in your essay writings.

Tip: For IB Arabic B students, before your Paper 1, make a mind map of all the ideas and vocabulary words that cover the 6 IB themes because the topics of the essay questions will be 3 of the 6 themes.

2. Cooljugator.com/AR , Acon.baykal.be , and Qutrub.Arabeyes.org

These three are useful, easy-to-use conjugator websites that ease the process of essay writings. I used a conjugator table so much when I was in my first 6 years of studying Arabic that it became muscle memory to recall the rules. Now, I do not need to put in much effort in remembering and applying conjugation in my sentences.

Tip: memorising the conjugators in a form of a table is convenient to remember!

3. Reverso.net

Reverso.net is a good translator app and website that provides different translations according to different contexts so that you do not use the wrong word for your respective situations. From personal experience, when I am trying to find the meaning of a word, Google Translate is not the best resource, as it may give the wrong definition in the wrong context which is a big no-no! Alternatively, Reverso gives you the words in sentences that may fit best with what you are looking for.

4. Almaany

Almaany provides services for synonyms, antonym, translation for the Arabic language from various languages, (English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish, Persian, Indonesian and German) translation to English from various language (Dutch, Korean, French, German, Italian, Chinese and Indian) and even translation for Quranic words (since not all Quranic words can be directly translated without thorough study from Islamic scholars).

Tip: Using the synonym service is a great way to avoid repetitive words in your essay.

3safeer.com is an interactive website and app that compiles stories for different age groups to boost grammar and vocabulary. It is similar to an audiobook so it also helps improve Arabic enunciation.

6. BONUS: Arabic Podcast: Arabic in 60 steps podcast.

On this podcast, you’ll find Arabic lessons of all lengths! It’s best suited for those that want to brush up on the Arabic foundation.

Overall, do not be afraid to keep writing and to make mistakes. Ask someone knowledgeable to identify grammar or spelling mistakes so that you can learn from them. Through mistakes, you are able to grow and find the excitement in this beautiful language!

Why Study Arabic?

A Critical Language . Arabic speakers are in great demand. The U.S. State Department has named Arabic a “critical language,” creating scholarships for language study in the U.S. and overseas. Practical and curious about the world, BU students feel that knowing Arabic will give them a career edge in such fields as diplomacy, intelligence, business, engineering, international development, and academia.

A Solid Program. The Arabic program at BU covers four-plus years of modern standard Arabic . The program is structured to get you speaking in Arabic as quickly as possible (this is called the communicative method ); by the end of the first year, classes are conducted primarily in Arabic. We use the most widely taught textbook series, Al-Kitaab , supplemented with a variety of authentic materials (newspapers and magazines, songs, advertisements, menus, YouTube videos, etc.) to make the cultural context come alive.

A Lively Approach. Our program emphasizes all four language skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing). As a beginner, you’ll start by learning to write the letters and distinguish the sounds of the Arabic alphabet. Many sessions zoom in on practical vocabulary and commonly discussed topics. As you advance, you’ll learn the grammar and vocabulary you need to maintain an interesting college-level conversation in Arabic. Our upper-level language courses use a huge array of authentic sources from the Arab world (Arabic online media, novels and poems, films, blogs, etc.). We offer advanced Arabic in topic-based courses such as Translation, Media Arabic, Arab Cultures, and Arabic Literature. We also teach Levantine Colloquial Arabic and offer a special introductory track for “heritage” learners from Arab backgrounds.

Check out the full menu of BU Arabic language and culture courses here.

What Our Students Say

“ Amazing program with teachers that really care about helping the students; I feel like I’m learning the language at a rapid pace and want to continue.” –Jessica Hotaling ’16

“I enjoyed all my Arabic classes and have great respect for the professors, and I have many friends in the class. The professors are outstanding and do a great job attending to each student’s individual needs .” – Karan Varindani ’16

“I studied abroad with BU’s Morocco program and I think that it really was integral to studying the language as a minor. Without studying abroad somewhere in the Arab world, whether it be in North Africa or the Levant region or the Gulf etc. you just wont get the same kind of experience or understanding of the language or culture in class unless you experience it first hand on your own. My experience with regards to [extracurricular Arabic at BU] was [also] really fulfilling and I liked how much effort the faculty put in always letting students know about the events etc. in the Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/131982590181105/ . There was always something to attend .” –Justin Ford ’15

“Arabic is a beautiful language that has not been fully discovered yet. It is a widely spoken language in the Arabic world spoken by many people. If you have the opportunity to take an Arabic class, take advantage of it.” – Nida Shuttari

“It’s a tough language, but so rewarding. Job offers really do pour in as you advance in the language. Cultural activities are plentiful. The department is small but developing wonderfully, and they REALLY value students’ feedback in terms of changing and adding new programs.” –Matthew Knight

“Arabic seemed like such a daunting task at first, but quickly turned into a fun yet challenging experience. It is definitely worth the time put in. Some of my closest friends are actually classmates from my Arabic class.” –Stephen Allen

“Arabic is awesome because it’s a great, small, loving community of students who love learning a challenging language. Learning Arabic is challenging at times, but coming from a Romance language background, it is refreshing to study a completely new alphabet and culture.” –Janet Calcaterra

“Arabic blows your mind. It’s completely different than any language spoken in Europe. It is also very useful in today’s job market.” – Seth Mandelkern

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I major or minor in Arabic at BU?

Yes! You can minor in Arabic – see http://www.bu.edu/academics/cas/programs/modern-languages-comparative-literature/minor-arabic/ . You can major in Middle East and North Africa Studies, which works as a de facto Arabic major – see www.bu.edu/mena/academics for details. If you are majoring in International Relations and minoring in Arabic, talk to your Pardee School advisor about a double major in IR&MENA instead.

Q: Are there scholarships?

Yes! And our program frequently wins them. In recent years several of our students have won Foreign Language and Area Studies awards through BU’s African Studies Center http://www.bu.edu/africa/forstudents/financial-aid/ , covering their tuition on campus. Our students have also won national awards such as Critical Language Scholarships and Boren Scholarships, a SALAM scholarship for summer study in Oman, a Gilman scholarship covering a semester’s study in Rabat, and an all-expenses-paid scholarship to the prestigious Center for Arabic Study Abroad post-BA program in Cairo. The MA students in our Master of Arts in Teaching–Arabic program, run jointly with the school of education, have won fellowships from Qatar Foundation International to cover their graduate studies.

Q: Can you describe the kids who take Arabic at BU?

Between 100 and 200 students per year take Arabic at BU. The program is known for its camaraderie: the work is tough, and committed students develop a real sense that “we’re all in it together.” Our students do homework in pairs or groups and contribute to a warm, non-judgmental atmosphere in class. There are student blogs in Arabic, skits, presentations, and lots of extracurricular opportunities. There’s usually a final party and talent show. It’s inspiring to see how quickly our students progress – and how much fun they have.

Q: How fast will I progress?

Amazingly fast. By the end of first semester, you will be able to conduct a simple interview with a native speaker.

Q: Will I become fluent in Arabic?

We can’t guarantee fluency – that depends on how hard you study! But we can tell you that our four-year program, combined with a summer or semester in the Arab world or in an intense summer program, can bring you to advanced proficiency by graduation if you are committed and work hard.

Why Learn Arabic? 14 Incredible Reasons To Learn Arabic

Why learn Arabic ? I asked myself the same thing before thinking about learning Arabic.

Let’s cut to the chase then. A few years ago when I was thinking about learning a new language, I found out that Arabic is one of the most important languages in the world.

That said, I quickly realized that it’s a challenging language, in fact it’s one of the hardest languages in the world. But don’t feel discouraged!

Over time, learning Arabic helped me expand my linguistic abilities, and taught me a lot of new things that are useful for my personal and professional life. And that’s even before getting to the fact that it’s a joy to learn!

So let’s find out then – why learn Arabic?

By the way, if you’re thinking about learning Arabic, then I have some great news for you! I have beginner course called Arabic Uncovered . It’s a course where you can rely on the power of story and the unique StoryLearning® approach to learn Arabic!

It’s fun, easy, and effective! Make sure to sign up here for the course if you’re interested!

If you prefer watching videos to reading, hit play on the video version of this post below. Otherwise, keep scrolling to discover the answer to the question: why learn Arabic?

1. Arabic Is Spoken All Over The World

Guess what? Arabic is spoken by millions of people all over the world. There are somewhere between 350-450 million Arabic speakers globally across more than 50 Arabic-speaking countries.

If you do the math (and if you don’t want to do the math, then let me do it for you!), then that means that it’s the 5th most spoken language in the world!

Of course, not everyone speaks the same kind of Arabic, because there are lots of Arabic dialects . One time, I was hanging out with a group of Arabic-speaking friends from different countries: Egypt, Iraq, and Morocco. They could barely understand each other!

Still, Arabic is the main official language in all of these and other countries in the Middle East and North Africa region.

I also have tons of friends who are part of the Arab diaspora who live in countries in Europe, the Americas, and Asia, who all speak Arabic as well.

Arabic is such an important language that it’s even one of the UN working languages.

At the same time, Arabic is also the official language for many other countries because of its role in Islam, which brings me to the next reason why you should learn Arabic.

2. Understand The History And Traditions Of Islam

Did you know that Islam is one of the most important religions in the world? With close to 2 billion followers, more than a quarter of the world’s population identify as Muslim!

When I visited the Middle East for the first time, I went to Cairo in Egypt. There, I was constantly reminded of the major role Arabic plays in Islam when I heard verses in classical Arabic straight from the Qur’an being blared on loudspeakers, five times a day.

Many Muslims across the world, even if they are not from an Arabic-speaking country, have a strong foundation in Arabic to better understand and connect with the teachings of Islam.

If you’re Muslim, then learning Arabic can be a great way to connect with your religion. And even if you aren’t Muslim, then learning Arabic can help you better understand the religion and promote cross-cultural understanding.

3. Travelling In The Middle East And North Africa

It took some time for me to get around to visiting the Middle East and North Africa, but I wasn’t disappointed once I started.

After starting to learn Arabic, I visited Egypt to experience the city of Cairo and explore the amazing historical sites like the pyramids and the city of Luxor.

Later, I had the chance to visit other countries in the Middle East. In Jordan, I had a chance to trek through Petra and Wadi Rum. In Tunisia, I visited the ancient city of Carthage outside Tunis.

It was clear that there’s something to see or experience in the region for every type of traveller.

But the best part of travelling there, I found, was the hospitality. Everybody I encountered was more than welcoming.

One of my friends started travelling only after studying Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and had no knowledge of any of the dialects (I learned Egyptian Arabic first).

But she found that even knowing some MSA went a long way for communicating with locals, reading signs, and deciphering menus.

If you do decide to travel to the Middle East, then knowing some Arabic beforehand can help you make your travel experience unforgettable.

4. Arabic Can Help In Learning The History Of The Middle East

As mentioned already, Arabic is most commonly spoken in the Middle East and North Africa region. But it’s also the main language for many other civilisations in the past.

All the history buffs I’ve spoken with have been quick to note Arabic’s hand in shaping history.

Since Arabic plays an important role in Islam, it’s no wonder that there are tons of historical records from civilisations like the Umayyad caliphate and the Ottoman empire in Arabic.

Because the region is one of the most historically consequential places on earth, learning Arabic will help you better connect with these histories and understand its hand in shaping the world we live in today.

5. Become A Better Mathematician And Scientist

This reason is for all of the math and science geeks out there! A mate of mine who studied maths at uni told me that words like “algebra” and “algorithm” originally come from Arabic.

That’s because the Arabic language has played a vital role in the development of mathematics and various scientific fields that shape the way our world works today.

This friend also explained that the number system we use today are called Arabic numerals because of the role medieval Islamic civilisations have had in spreading their use around the world.

Learning Arabic and its connection with the history of mathematics and science might help you become a better mathematician or scientist. And even if it doesn’t, it’s sure to help you in becoming a better conversation starter at the dinner table!

6. Expose Yourself To Rich Arabic Literature And Arts

Learning Arabic can help you unlock the keys to a rich and diverse culture directly, without having to rely on translations.

With a better knowledge of Arabic, you can learn to better appreciate Arabic songs by legendary singers like Fairuz and Oum Kulsum.

Or you can expose yourself to the literature and poetry of influential writers and poets like Naguib Mahfouz, Mahmoud Darwish and Halil Cibran.

Perhaps over time, you can also attempt learning Arabic by reading short stories from compilations like “One Thousand and One Nights” ( Alf Layla wa-Layla / أبف ليلة و ليلة). After all, learning languages through stories is one of the best methods for becoming fluent!

7. Arabic Cuisine Is Delicious!

If you’re a foodie then you’ll be pleased to know that the food from the Arabic-speaking world is nothing short of delicious. Full stop.

Obviously, there’s the Arabic foods that have become popular household names over the years like hummus (حمص), falafel (فلافل), and baklava (بقلاوة).

But every time I’ve gone to a new restaurant that features food from the region, I’ve always been delightfully surprised by the foods I sampled, like tajine (تجين), maqluba (مقلوبة), kebbeh (كبّة), and kushari (كشري).

And if you’re even more adventurous, then perhaps you can even try making these foods by following YouTube cooking channels in Arabic. Plus, it’ll help with the listening comprehension practice!

8. Arabic Is Linked To Many Other Languages

Because Arabic has had a large role in history, its traces are in many other languages, making it the perfect gateway for learning Turkish and more.

Languages like Persian, Kurdish, Urdu, and even Hindi also use lots of words that are originally from Arabic, while other languages like Hebrew share lots of the same grammar as Arabic.

For example, the word for “book” in Arabic is the same in Turkish and Persian: kitaab (كتاب), with just a few differences in pronunciation.

A lot of the vocabulary used in daily life in countries like Turkey and Iran come from Arabic roots. So you may find that it’s easy to transition into learning other languages in the Middle East and North Africa region.

9. Arabic Film And Television Are Fun To Watch

Who would have thought that being a couch potato and binge-watching TV series or a movie could be a great way of learning a new language!

I got lucky with Arabic when I started learning it because I stumbled on lots of great Arabic TV series and movies that I could watch for listening comprehension practice.

The best part of learning Arabic through TV series or movies is that there is constantly new material you can watch so you’ll never be bored.

You can always count on a new series in Arabic that you can watch during the month of Ramadan. Last Ramadan, I ended up binge-watching Seroh Al Bateaa (سره الباتع).

There are also lots of award-winning Arabic films that provide great social commentary about ongoing trends and topics in the Middle East.

So next weekend, sit back, relax, and enjoy the musalsal (series)/مسلسل!

10. Great Economic And Business Opportunities

Oil. Textiles. Olives. Tech services. Cotton. Guess what they all have in common? Well, they’re all produced in significant quantities across many Arabic-speaking countries!

Many Arabic-speaking countries in the Middle East and North Africa are major economic powerhouses, and some cities like Dubai, Doha, Riyadh, and Cairo are huge hubs for business.

In addition, with a wealth of natural resources, many Arabic-speaking countries have been attracting tons of foreign investment and have amazing economic prospects in the future for growth.

Knowing Arabic can help you get ahead in today’s economy and help you grow your business, which brings me to another related reason to learn Arabic.

11. Arabic Can Help You Get Ahead In Your Career

You’ve probably met tons of people who have been interested in learning more classic languages like French or Spanish, and rarely met people who’ve been interested in learning Arabic.

It’s precisely because Arabic is not a typical go-to language to learn that when you get to the point of applying for jobs, you’ll probably stand out from a crowd of job applicants and get ahead in your career!

Learning Arabic can help you advance your career in directions that might not otherwise be available.

There’s plenty of opportunities to use Arabic whether you land a job in a multinational corporation, pursue a career in research, decide to become an archaeologist, or more!

12. Boost Your Memory And Keep Your Brain In Shape

Beyond the benefits of learning Arabic itself, learning languages on its own can help you boost your memory and brain functions.

The brain is just another muscle in your body, which means that like other muscles you use for running on a treadmill or swimming laps, you need to use it regularly to keep it in tip-top shape.

That’s why learning a language can be a great way to keep your brain active, especially as you get older.

By learning a new language like Arabic, you’ll be helping your brain get better at learning and remembering new things. Just think of learning Arabic as the same as doing push-ups, only that they’re for your brain!

So every time you sift through some Arabic flash cards or do some grammar exercises, you’re boosting your brain’s memory and functions.

13. Learning A New Language Broadens Your Perspective Of The World

Learning Arabic doesn’t just take place in the classroom. Once I started learning Arabic, there were so many more things I was able to learn about life and the world we live in, and it shifted my worldview in many ways.

For instance, once I started practicing Arabic by watching news on channels like Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya, I realised that one news event might be understood in completely different ways.

Considering that the Middle East and North Africa is a region that has often been misunderstood by other parts of the world, learning Arabic can help you be a part of the solution to overcome misunderstandings and become a bridge between cultures.

14. Learning Arabic Is A Lot Of Fun

Last, but not least, learning Arabic is enjoyable and rewarding, even if it's challenging!

You could say that the difference between learning Arabic and learning a language like Spanish or French is comparable to the difference between doing a 5,000-piece and a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle.

While one might take a lot more time to finish than the other, they’re both still a lot of fun!

Here’s a quick preview of one of the fun things about learning Arabic.

One of the main features of Arabic is its root system, where every word can be traced to three or four root consonant letters that are all associated with one idea.

Over time, you learn to recognize patterns to words which embed meaning to these root consonants.

For example, the root d-r-s /د-ر-س carries the meaning “to study” or “learn”. You can form words using this root by inserting them into different patterns that embed different but related meanings.

So for instance, madrasa / مدرسة means “school”, while darrasa / درّس means “to teach”.

Pretty cool, right? Features like the root system makes Arabic a very logical language, and a lot of fun for people with a passion and interest in learning languages.

Why Learn Arabic? For Its Many Advantages!

So in summary, why learn Arabic? Perhaps the reason is simple – that it’s a fun and great way to expand your brainpower and your understanding of the world!

While there are tons of reasons why you should learn Arabic, including perhaps some of the reasons I’ve shared in this blog, you know yourself better than me.

So at the end of the day it’s up to you to find your own personal answer the question: why learn Arabic?

Of course, Arabic is no piece of cake and you’ll likely experience some hurdles while learning it. But don’t let that demotivate you!

You can learn Arabic and have fun while doing it by following the rules of Storylearning and reading short stories in Arabic .

Differences in Languages between Arabic and English Essay

Run-on sentences

Punctuation, writing organization, works cited.

ESL learners encounter many challenges in college writing. Nearly everyone is aware that students’ native language often affects their learning of the target language, English. However, not everyone can actually recognize the extent at which first language (Arabic) may have impact on the students’ second language.

The teachers should have the ability to study the other language to comprehend the reason why students are creating certain mistakes. During learning English, there are some regular errors students make while writing. This paper will discuss some of these challenges which I have experience while learning and how students can solve these issues.

Endlessly, most learners whose native language is Arabic always write continuous sentences with no full tops and infinite commas. The teachers may correct them but they will end up repeating. Arabic writing rules permits run-on sentences; hence there is no mistake in writing them.

Most journals and news papers have run-on sentences and readers can follow these sentences without confusion. Therefore, the students should be informed that it is confusing for English learners to write endless sentences, unlike Arabic (Ellis 4). The teachers should provide them with solutions on how to tackle such issues through the use of periods, commas and connectors.

Just like run-on sentences, repetition of synonyms in one sentence is permitted and encouraged in Arabic languages since it shows the writers’ fluency and stresses the ideas. Some learners can have few vocabularies and sometimes repeat terms such as “good” and “bad” all through the paper for instance. For this case, students should be provided with synonyms example so that they should use them in their essay (Ellis 7).

The teachers should assist the learners with the good writing skills or patterns while understanding that they are changing writing and thinking patterns also rather than being irritated on the repetition of endless sentences by the students. To reduce the learners’ redundancy, they should be provided editing assignments to work on creating shorter sentences without repetition.

A sentence like this may be confusing, “malaria does not spread through greetings with hand,” and it need proper rendering. This example of a sentence makes logical sense in Arabic writing but not in sense; the writer attempt to say that malaria does not caused by handshakes and greetings.

The term “greetings” in Arabic is just same as the word “peace” so the writer simply used it. Some students are likely to plainly render this sentence from their native language to English. Such difficulties might not be solved in one instance as the learner requires exercising and reading a lot. Generating an excellent English foundation to express themselves at the same time the teacher should provide readings to the students while working one on one with student to help in translating Arabic in English language.

Most ESL students who possess Arabic background often have difficulty with punctuation. Arabic language has minimal restrictions in the use of commas and periods than English (Wahba 257). Accordingly, several learners use endless sum of commas in their second language run-on sentences.

While semi-colons, nearly, does not exist and exclamation marks are very frequently used while writing English sentences. Therefore, there is essential for students to learn the use of punctuation in different sessions and relate the rules in editing exercises up to the time they are perfect.

The expressions like “Topic sentence,” “No new ideas in the conclusion” and “Thesis” are all entirely strange to Arabic writing (Ellis 7). The circular way of writing in English essay is differentiated with a linear example in Arabic essay where there is introduction of fresh ideas in the conclusion.

Noticeably, the teacher for this instance should have the ability to develop new sequences in the learners’ minds and identify the dissimilarity between English and Arabic writing.

English writing starts from left to right which is the opposite to that of Arabic writing. While writing, Arabic is performed in cursive, the structure of the letter changes at the time they are occurring alone, in the start, middle, or the last part of the word (Ellis 7).

The above challenges discussed which are experienced by ESL students whose first language is Arabic may be reduced and even removed with reading English, editing exercises, and through the teacher who is assistive and understanding the difficulties of writing the second language. Several mistakes are encountered when students over apply the native language.

Students should be encouraged to speak English always, at school and home, so that they reduce the errors because of negative first language transfer, but they should also learn more about the convections and rules of writing.

Arabic language is similar to any other language, hard in some aspects and easy in other aspects, relying on the backgrounds of the readers or learners, and capability to cope with new rules. In addition, a person who has ability to speak more than one language has high likelihood to understand it easier, since the person’s brain has the capacity to cope with new vocabulary and rules.

AAEE – Automated evaluation of students’ essays in Arabic language

The ability to communicate in natural language has long been considered a defining characteristic of human intelligence. Furthermore, we hold our ability to express ideas in writing as a pinnacle of this uniquely human language facility-it defies formulaic or algorithmic specification. So it comes as no surprise that attempts to devise computer programs that evaluate writing are often met with resounding skepticism. Nevertheless, automated writing-evaluation systems might provide precisely the platforms we need to elucidate many of the features that characterize good and bad writing, and many of the linguistic, cognitive, and other skills that underlie the human capacity for both reading and writing. Using computers to increase our understanding of the textual features and cognitive skills involved in creating and comprehending written text will have clear benefits. It will help us develop more effective instructional materials for improving reading, writing, and other human communication abilities. It will also help us develop more effective technologies , such as search engines and question-answering systems, for providing universal access to electronic information. A sketch of the brief history of automated writing-evaluation research and its future directions might lend some credence to this argument.

Automated Essay Scoring (AES) is a service or software that can predictively grade essay based on a pre-trained computational model. It has gained a lot of research interest in educational institutions as it expedites the process and reduces the effort of human raters in grading the essays as close to humans' decisions. Despite the strong appeal, its implementation varies widely according to researchers' preferences. This critical review examines various AES development milestones specifically on different methodologies and attributes used in deriving essay scores. To generalize existing AES systems according to their constructs, we attempted to fit all of them into three frameworks which are content similarity, machine learning and hybrid. In addition, we presented and compared various common evaluation metrics in measuring the efficiency of AES and proposed Quadratic Weighted Kappa (QWK) as standard evaluation metric since it corrects the agreement purely by chance when estimate the degree of agreement between two raters. In conclusion, the paper proposes hybrid framework standard as the potential upcoming AES framework as it capable to aggregate both style and content to predict essay grades Thus, the main objective of this study is to discuss various critical issues pertaining to the current development of AES which yielded our recommendations on the future AES development.
