KazNU Hosts a Series of Seminars on Arabic Language Learning and Teaching

From 12 to 14 October 2026, the Faculty of Oriental Studies at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University hosted a series of three educational seminars as part of the international programme “Arabic Language Month in Kazakhstan.” The programme was jointly organised by the King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language and Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.

The seminars brought together first- to fourth-year students of the Faculty of Oriental Studies. The programme covered different levels of Arabic proficiency and focused primarily on developing practical language skills.

The first seminar, “Fundamentals of Teaching Arabic at A1–A2 Levels,” focused on the initial stages of language learning. Students explored key principles of developing language skills and organising the learning process in a systematic way.

The second seminar, “Developing Speaking Skills for Arabic Learners at B1–B2 Levels,” focused on oral communication. Participants discussed ways to improve communicative competence and use Arabic effectively in different communication settings.

The third seminar, “Developing Reading Skills for Arabic Learners at B1–B2 Levels,” focused on working with Arabic texts. Participants explored techniques for improving reading comprehension, expanding vocabulary and developing effective reading skills.

The three seminars complemented one another and gave students from different years an opportunity to approach Arabic language learning from a practical perspective. Junior students were introduced to new learning approaches, while senior students were able to connect their language training with their future professional activities.

The seminar series continued the educational programme of “Arabic Language Month in Kazakhstan” and provided a platform for sharing experience, gaining new knowledge and engaging in professional exchange.
