Authors : Bouzekri Hafnaoui .

Abstract

Teaching Arabic to non-native speakers is a contemporary educational and linguistic field that has gained increasing global attention due to Arabic's religious, cultural, and economic significance. This field relies on considering the linguistic and cultural differences among learners, and the accompanying challenges related to the lack of a suitable language environment and difficulties in acquiring language skills. Teaching Arabic to non-native speakers differs from teaching it to native speakers in its methods of skills development. It requires a balanced development of the four language skills, with a focus on communicative language use, alongside the integration of modern technologies and the creation of a supportive learning environment. In this context, the importance of the teacher's role and their linguistic, pedagogical, and cultural competencies becomes evident. Walid Al-Anati's contributions are a prominent example in developing this field by combining linguistic foundations with modern linguistic perspectives. The question then arises: What are Walid Al-Anati's efforts in teaching Arabic to non-native speakers?
