UNESCO discusses teaching Arabic to children of immigrant communities. The children of immigrants learning the languages of their countries of origin constitutes “an effective factor and facilitator of their integration process” in the countries that host them.
This topic is the focus of a book entitled “How Do Our Children Learn Arabic in Immigrants? Experiences and Aspirations,” launched by the Arab Thought Foundation. The symposium was held in cooperation with UNESCO on International Mother Language Day, corresponding to February 21 every year.
