Doha: Language is a custodian of identity, and our Arabic identity cannot be preserved without our Arabic, according to a group of Arabic language teachers at Qatar Academy Doha, one of the schools under the umbrella of Qatar Foundation’s Pre-University Education.
The teachers also emphasised the importance of children growing up to love the Arabic language, and to realise its role in promoting cultural and national belonging.
“At Qatar Academy Doha, we are keen to instil a love for the Arabic language in the hearts of our students by making them aware that it is one of the basic components of our existence and identity,” said Mahmoud Amer, an Arabic language teacher for middle and high school and head of the Arabic language department at Qatar Academy Doha (QAD).
