Teaching Arabic as a second language is still, in many parts of the world based on intuition and unprincipled methods. Many textbooks and materials designed for this purpose still use outdated pedagogy in second language teaching. Although there are some attempts to break with this tradition, the gap is still noticed.
Aljamea-Tus-Saifiyah is an Arabic Academy first established in Surat, India, with its educational focus on the Quran, Islamic sciences, the Arabic language and literature. The academy presents a solution for this long-suffering of the Arabic learners, especially for those who practice language learning in a country where it is not spoken. This book aims to present the areas of intersection between the methodology of Aljamea-Tus-Saifiyah and that of modern linguistic theories in order to establish a universal status for this method of language learning and teaching. It also provides a methodology for Arabic language learning in which the emphasis goes to the Arabic language without the least ignorance of the importance of learning and teaching foreign languages as an access to the modern world.
