Language is the way that nations transfer their customs and history to the new generations. The language is the cultural medium that is used for this transforming type of communication between generations. Thus, comes the role of cultural awareness into playing its significant effect in the process of linguistic interaction between generations. For this study, the role that cultural awareness plays in raising the proficiency of Arabic language learners to higher levels was investigated. All these efforts concentrated on learning how cultural awareness could enrich the proficiency of the military polyglot and prepare them to act as a bridge between the American culture (i.e., source culture) and the Middle East culture (i.e., target culture). The problem that was studied in this research addressed wo main concerns. First, finding a clear definition to the role that cultural awareness plays in second acquisition. Second, finding the best practices to introduce the Arabic culture into the Arabic Basic Course curriculum. The main components of this study were the survey questionnaire and the interviews. The participants in these two parts are teachers of the Arabic language with over five years of experience. The framework of the study was to question and interview the local Arabic teachers of the language in Arabic teaching institutions. The core of the research was to study the significance of the role of culture in re-enforcing the learning process of Arabic language. The study was also focused on the mechanism of preparing the English native speaker to reach higher proficiency levels of Arabic in their performance as military linguists. The required information was solicited from teachers that are working towards achieving the proficiency standards set forth by the Interagency Language Roundtable for the linguists. The research method utilized in this study was the qualitative method for the purpose of learning about the introduction of Arabic culture into the curriculum as a substantial component in the progression of the Arabic language learning process to reach high level proficiency for the Arabic military linguist.
