First: The importance of the Arabic language
Over the centuries, the Arabic language had strength and survival factors that no other language had. It was born in the cradle of the oldest alphabet in human history and inherited some of the characteristics of its ancient mother and sister languages of the East. With the emergence of Islam, it became the language of the Noble Koran and the vessel of faith.
Arabs before Islam had a great interest in the language and used to hold a language conference every year in Taif in the Arabian Peninsula, where poets and orators gathered to chant poems. Its name was Okaz Market, which was the largest Arab market in the pre-Islamic era and the most famous meeting place for thought, literature, and culture among the Arab tribes. People, great poets, orators, and writers used to come to the market from all over the Arabian Peninsula.
Scholars agree that the Arabic language is still capable of accommodating contemporary developments and opening new horizons for the role of Arab scientific research and placing it in its proper position in today's world.'
Second: The world needs our Arabic language
At the global level, the UN has recognized the Arabic language, making it the third among the six approved languages (English, Spanish, Arabic, French, Russian, and Chinese).
In October 2012, the UNESCO Executive Board decided in its 190th session to dedicate December 18 as the International Day of the Arabic Language. In that year, UNESCO celebrated this day for the first time. On October 23, 2013, the UNESCO Advisory Board for the International Plan for the Development of Arab Culture decided to adopt the International Day of the Arabic Language as one of the main elements in its work program for each year.
Third: The need for an Arabic electronic encyclopedia

Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Encyclopedia "TAGEPEDIA" is an electronic search engine to disseminate verified, revised knowledge in Arabic on the Internet. It is a general, comprehensive, and electronic platform in Arabic, which contains a huge amount of useful information and verified knowledge. It covers various political, scientific, literary, cultural, and knowledge areas which anyone can access and use through modern technical means.
"TAGEPEDIA" aims to be an Arabic comprehensive reference encyclopedia for specialists and those interested in scientific, professional, and legislative knowledge. It took ten years of work to prepare the “TAGEPEDIA” platform.
After its launch later this year, it will contain a million articles, which is double the number of articles Wikipedia has, taking into consideration that half of Wikipedia’s content is either useless or unverified, unlike TAGEPEDIA. This means that its content is four times the content of Wikipedia in terms of verified, useful Arabic content. With its launch in December 2019, our language will rank fifth among the world's digital languages.
Fourth: The need for an Arabic program and fluency test
Talal Abu-Ghazaleh International University (TAGI-UNI) has introduced the Arabic language “Fluency” Program, which includes fluency and placement tests in the Arabic language, as well as training programs for native and non-native speakers to help spread it, enhance its value globally, and ensure its continuity.
Just as TOEFL is one of two major international tests (IELTS & TOEFL) to measure a person’s English language proficiency for academic and professional purposes, work, or immigration to English-speaking countries, the goal of the new “Fluency” Program, which is one of a kind worldwide, is to standardize the measurement of linguistic level of native and non-native Arabic speakers, according to specific normative standards.

Fifth: The need for a standard Arabic language curriculum
TAGI-UNI has prepared the “Arabic Literacy Curriculum” and the “Fluency in Arabic Language Skills” book, as well as several curricula adopted by the university that cover the needs of all levels according to the study conditions.
The Fluency in Arabic Language Skills book is a distinguished reference that includes all the skills of the Arabic language and qualifies students for the fluency test. It is available in audio and text versions. It is prepared in such a way that the learner can study it alone or through a training course. It is designed for intermediate and advanced learners of Arabic, in order to overcome the difficulties that prevent them from mastering the four linguistic skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening).
A facilitative approach was adopted while preparing the book that focuses on presenting its material (written and audio) through easy explanations, in a clear and specific language that avoids ambiguity and difficult definitions. The book is full of modern, vibrant literary texts and various exercises that are carefully chosen to help the reader and learner to measure their skills and performance. It also includes lessons in grammar, morphology, rhetoric, and dictation, followed by a number of exercises, with solved models, and the most common mistakes in the lessons of each unit. The Arabic Fluency Program also includes training courses, traditional and remote, that enables Arabic and non-Arabic speakers to acquire multiple language skills at all levels for use in various specialized settings such as media, diplomacy, and others.
