Abstract

This article explores the problems of teaching the Arabic language and the ways to advance it through the perspective of the linguist Abdelrahman El-Hadj Saleh. It identifies the main factors behind the decline of Arabic language education, including the conflict between Classical Arabic and colloquial varieties, the dominance of rote learning, inadequate pedagogical practices, and weak curriculum planning. The study highlights El-Hadj Saleh’s call for a learner-centered and functional approach that focuses on developing linguistic competence, distinguishing between scientific and pedagogical grammar, and linking language instruction to real communicative contexts. It concludes that improving Arabic language teaching requires content planning, methodological renewal, and the integration of modern language technologies.
