The Cultural Requirements in Arabic Classes to Non-Native Speakers

The aim of the current study was to identify the cultural needs in Arabic language classes for non-native speakers.Using a descriptive approach, the researcher collected data through a questionnaire that covered four main areas: Social Cultural Needs, Political Cultural Needs, Economic Cultural Needs, and Literature, Arts, and Heritage Cultural Needs.The questionnaire was administered to a sample of 100 participants.The findings revealed a variation in the cultural needs of the students, with the highest need being for Social Cultural Needs and the lowest for Political Cultural Needs.The overall mean score was 3.9, indicating a high degree of need based on the established standard.This study is significant as it leverages the identified cultural needs of non-native Arabic learners, aiming to incorporate them into the curriculum.It also provides a valuable reference for teachers, including guidelines on cultural concepts and contemporary methods for teaching and evaluating culture for non-native Arabic learners.
