Abstract
ABSTRACT
The Arabic language held a prestigious position during the Ottoman era,
becoming the official language of the Ottoman state, as well as the language of
science and culture, after having primarily been the language of religion. The
state of the Arabic language is not as dire as some might think since the arrival of
colonizers; it has remained the language of religion and a language of science and
culture among scholars and Arabic language students to this day. Recently, with
the establishment of numerous Arabic language departments in various Nigerian
universities, Arabic has gained more recognition, being offered to all university
students regardless of their majors under the title "Communication in Arabic."
Due to the importance of this subject, the authors undertook this study. The
significance of this article lies in its support for researchers to understand the
importance of the Arabic language for other academic disciplines with their
varying goals and purposes, and how it connects different fields to enhance
benefits and knowledge exchange. Among the scientific objectives of this article
are: understanding students' interest in this subject, identifying the challenges
faced by the course instructor, the students, and the subject itself. To achieve
these goals, the researchers adopted two main methodologies: the inductive
method and the descriptive-analytical method. Some of the key findings the
researchers arrived at include: Students from other disciplines have a strong desire
to continue studying Arabic, many students are eager to spend time in Arab
countries. One of the main challenges facing this course is the limited time
allocated to it and the lack of depth, as it includes only a small portion of Arabic
language content.
