Looking forward to discussing why Arabic matters here @QFIntl tomorrow. A great language, spoken by hundreds of millions of people and a key tool to understanding the people and culture.
There is a significant gap in research on teaching Arabic as a 2nd language for school-aged learners. This week, the University of Oxford & QFI are convening stakeholders from around the world to discuss & develop strategies for teaching Arabic in schools in Oxford. Stay tuned!
