Investigating the process of Arabic language education in European countries Associate professor, dept. pf Arabic language and literature, Hakim Sabzevari University

Arabic language education, due to its connection with ideological issues, is beyond a certain country, and Europe has been influenced by it since the very first periods. From the 8th to the 12th century, Arabic was the scientific language of the world. Since then, Europeans have always had scientific and political relations with the Arabic language. Even now, the Arabic language still has fans and is taught in Europe, six million Arabs live in France alone. In Germany and the Netherlands, a significant part of the citizens are Muslims or people with Arab roots or Arab immigrants. In any case, even today, Arabic language education is still thriving in Europe, and since Arabic is the language of Islam, and according to official statistics, Islam is still expanding, despite the spread of secular beliefs and atheism in all parts of the world. According to the Pew Research and Studies Center in America, until 2050, Islam and Christianity will still have the most followers in the world, so the Arabic language will be prosperous in the future and due to its importance in this research, using the collection and descriptive-analytical method. We will examine the process of teaching Arabic language in Europe and we are looking to examine the current status of Arabic education, its problems, obstacles and challenges in European countries and provide solutions. Challenges such as: the inconsistency of Arabic language teaching institutions in European countries, the lack of a strong and universally approved reference, the commercial nature of textbooks and the lower level of teaching materials for teaching this language compared to other European textbooks.
In order to solve these challenges, standardization of curricula, gradation and observance of order in educational stages, keeping in mind the conditions and needs of language learners and aligning Arabic language education with the common European framework of language education can have a great impact in solving these challenges.
