Overview
The Program
Our students in the Arabic program from Georgetown University are expected to learn Arabic communicatively, and to utilize their knowledge and skills to cope with authentic texts and authentic situations. This department focuses on teaching Arabic in its wider, more authentic contexts and in the principles of discourse and meaning. Today, this department plays a leading role in teaching Arabic beyond grammatical analysis to a wider scope of teaching Arabic in the realms of both linguistic and cultural proficiencies.
With the conviction that it is essential for Georgetown students to gain knowledge of the world through the languages of its peoples, the faculty members of the department of Arabic are charged with the mission of teaching Arabic with one ultimate goal in mind: to enable our students to understand Arabs and Islam realistically, to develop a genuine appreciation for the human experience of Arabs, and to identify the human commonalities that make Arab people closer to American people. The changes sweeping the world at the beginning of the new century, the swift development of technology, and the need for world peace more than ever before compel us all to foster teaching and learning of both Arabic and Arab culture for the ultimate good of the new world in which we live.
