Nord Anglia Schools Actively Investing In Arabic Language With Innovative Methods

The UAE Ministry of Culture and Youth is working towards enhancing Arabic language education in the region, with schools under Nord Anglia Education (NAE) taking significant steps in this direction.

In May 2024, a delegation of 30 representatives from NAE schools in the Middle East attended the inaugural conference on Arabic Language and Islamic Studies, affiliated with the NAE Educational Foundation in Jordan.

Innovative approaches to teaching Arabic

Nord Anglia International School Dubai's Arabic language program focuses on helping students excel in reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills from Early Years Foundation Stage to Year 13. The school combines modern educational methods with ancient Arabic culture traditions to enhance students' understanding and instill a love for the language.

Similarly, Swiss International School Dubai adheres to the Ministry of Education's curricula while employing an innovative International Baccalaureate (IB) approach for teaching Arabic in an interactive manner.

This year, Nord Anglia International School Abu Dhabi appointed a head responsible for supervising the Ministry of Education's subjects to promote interest in the Arabic language and Islamic studies.

Michael Connor, Head of Primary at Nord Anglia International School Abu Dhabi, expressed pride in providing immersive learning experiences that enhance students' understanding and appreciation of the Arabic language and cultural identity.

Schools under Nord Anglia Education are making significant strides towards promoting the Arabic language and cultural identity through innovative teaching methods and immersive learning experiences. This aligns with the UAE Ministry of Culture and Youth's initiatives to advance Arabic language education throughout the region.
