Text of Note

Knowledge of Arabic, the language of the Qur'an, is essential for Muslims globally because it is used for prayer, Qur'anic recitations and in other religious practices. Saudi Arabia, as the custodian of two of Islam's three most sacred sites, believes it has a mission to protect the purity of classical Arabic and promote it amongst the world's Muslim population. The country's Ministry of Education operates many language institutes dedicated to delivering training to non-native speakers to improve the quality of classical Arabic pronunciation spoken across the world. This study endeavours to fill a research gap in the field of classical Arabic pronunciation through examining the current pedagogical approach at a typical Saudi Arabian language institute and contrast this with a technology-based constructivist approach. The study uses qualitative research methods employing an action research approach which includes focus group interviews with a number of students and teachers.
