Members of the Arabic Language Consultant: The challenges of our language require collective efforts

In their articles, the members valued the report on the state of the Arabic language and its future, which was finally launched by the Ministry of Culture and Youth, the efforts of the UAE in preserving the Arab language and identity and the real advancement of it at various levels, and devoting and protecting its position, in light of the rapid developments taking place in the world, as well as defending it.

Even though the Arabic language is known for the richness of its lexicon and the fertility of its creative, literary and cultural historical document, it suffers from its limited contribution to digital content, as this contribution does not exceed 3% of the total global digital content. ” In his article in the report, he noted that the UAE, like other Arabic-speaking countries, faces the same challenges, and perhaps to a greater extent, given that it is a leading global work center that attracts various nationalities to work and live in it.

Therefore, some countries rushed to put in place special laws to protect the language.

He added: “The UAE issued a charter called the Charter of the Arabic Language, which defines a set of general guidelines and instructions that affirm the supremacy of the Arabic language.

We have to change the role of the defender to that of the attacker, not The attacker who assaults everyone and forces them to submit to him, but rather the attacker who sneaks gently and imposes himself calmly.

In the field of technology, especially with the development of artificial intelligence and the many developments in this field, there is still a huge difference in what is presented in Arabic and what is presented in English ».

For his part, the Director of the Educational Center for the Arabic Language for the Gulf States, Dr. Issa Saleh Al-Hammadi, said that “the teacher is the cornerstone of the educational process, and occupies the first place among the factors on which the success of education depends on achieving its goals,” indicating that “reaching high levels The performance of Arabic language teachers within the framework of the development process depends on many factors, the most important of which is the selection of good quality from them, their proper preparation, the quality of their training, and providing them with the skills of the 21st century.

Heartbeat

Hanada Taha-Tamir, Professor of the Chair of Arabic Language at Zayed University, said: “We may have come today to say that the myth (Arabic is a difficult language) has become a reality in the fact that entire generations are afraid of the Arabic language, and that they do not use or master it, And in the feeling that it is not within their grasp, their minds, and their hearts.

Localization and translation

Dr. Ali Saeed Al-Kaabi, a consultant at the Emirates University, considered that “the problem of Arabic in our time lies in the language itself and those in charge of it, as work on Arabization and translation has stopped - despite its scarcity - for years, and there is no longer a reference that can be relied upon, in addition to the ease of using English for teaching And writing, and using its references for many professors in universities, because of the education that many of them received in foreign universities.
