New Programme Helps International Students in Saudi Learn Arabic

A new initiative, Sofara Al-Arabiya (Ambassadors of Arabic), is allowing international students to deepen their engagement with the Arabic language in a communal and interactive setting. Launched by Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University, the programme is designed to enhance Arabic proficiency through creative expression and cultural participation.

With activities such as creative writing workshops, poetry publishing, and involvement in cultural events, students can develop their Arabic skills in both professional and everyday contexts. The initiative also supports broader efforts to strengthen institutional and intercultural communication, introducing innovative approaches to Arabic language teaching while expanding access to language services in both government and private sectors.
