Bangkok: The King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language (KSGAAL) has concluded its “Arabic Language Month in Thailand”, implemented from November 4 to December 2 in Bangkok and Hat Yai. The program, a collaborative effort with Krirk University and Prince of Songkla University, Pattani Campus, focused on advancing Arabic language curricula, enhancing teacher performance, and promoting the Arabic language in Thailand.
According to Saudi Press Agency, KSGAAL Secretary General Dr. Abdullah Al-Washmi expressed the academy’s appreciation for the support it receives from Minister of Culture and Chairman of the Academy’s Board of Trustees Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan, which is aligned with the objectives of the Human Capability Development Program. The initiative featured diverse activities, including a scientific symposium on teaching Arabic to non-native speakers. The symposium explored four central themes: Saudi Arabia’s contributions to teaching Arabic globally, the current state of Arabic language in
stitutions and curricula in Thailand, challenges facing Arabic language educators and students, and the complexities of dual-language education and curriculum development. Additional workshops, training sessions, and panel discussions were held to enhance teaching methodologies and learning outcomes for Arabic language learners.
This initiative is part of KSGAAL’s scientific programs on Arabic language teaching project, which has been successfully implemented in countries such as Indonesia, China, India, Uzbekistan, Brazil, and France. Through these endeavors, the academy continues to expand its international reach and foster global partnerships in Arabic language education. The initiative reflects KSGAAL’s mission to preserve and promote the Arabic language, elevate its global status, and ensure its sustainability in diverse cultures. The program reinforces the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s leading role in supporting the Arabic language and sciences globally by providing direct training for educators and improv
ing teaching practices.
