International Conference at YSU: "Socio-Cultural Layers in Arabic Language Teaching"

On June 2-3, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., YSU Faculty of Oriental Studies will host an international conference titled "Socio-Cultural Layers in Arabic Language Teaching."

Experts from various universities across Europe, Russia, and Armenia will present and discuss the interplay between social and cultural factors shaping the processes of teaching and learning Arabic. The conference will address topics such as the impact of diglossia in Arabic-speaking societies on linguistic diversity, methods of incorporating dialects and cultural elements into language instruction, and how these elements influence both teaching practices and the overall learning experience.

The aim of the conference is to explore and critically assess emerging pedagogical approaches in Arabic language teaching, with a particular focus on the relationship between Modern Standard Arabic and various Arabic dialects.
