Navigating Challenges Facing Enrollment In Arabic Language Programs In Many Nigerian Tertiary Institutions: Causes And Remedies
الكاتب : يوسف تاج الدين .
الملخص
Arabic is a significant language, serving as a means of communication in Arab countries and numerous Muslim nations. It is also an official language in major international organizations such as the Arab League, African Unity Organization, UNESCO, and the United Nations. Despite its global importance in diplomacy, business, and cultural studies, Arabic language programs in many Nigerian tertiary institutions face low enrollment. Several factors contribute to this issue, including the perceived lack of relevance of Arabic to students' careers and the challenges of learning the language's complex script and grammar. Institutional limitations, such as inadequate resources, unqualified instructors, and poor program visibility, further exacerbate the problem. This paper explores these challenges and proposes solutions, including updating curricula to include practical language use, cultural immersion, and career-oriented modules. Additionally, enhanced marketing and increased institutional support are recommended to attract students and improve program quality, ultimately revitalizing Arabic language education in Nigeria.
