Arabic Language Education in Jordan

Arabic in the curriculum, and Arabic as a foreign language — a structural guide with official sources.

In short

Arabic is the language of instruction in the national school system and the medium of teaching for Arabic language, literature, Islamic studies, law and education at university level. Arabic grammar, literature and rhetoric form a substantial part of school and university study in the humanities.

Arabic inside the system

Arabic as a foreign language

Jordan hosts a well-developed market in Arabic teaching for non-native speakers, delivered by private institutes and by university language centres. Programmes typically distinguish Modern Standard Arabic, Classical Arabic and Jordanian/Levantine colloquial Arabic — a distinction that changes what you can actually do with the language, and which programme is right for you.

Where to go next

The Arabic in Jordan section covers the registers in detail, lists language centres with verified profiles, and explains how to compare programmes by objective rather than by price alone.
