The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is responsible for promoting the Arabic language, facilitating its teaching, and supporting its issues in service of the language of the Qur'an. Among the institutions dedicated to this global mission are the Arabic language institutes in Saudi universities, which have established a rich history of teaching Arabic to non-native speakers. Among these esteemed institutions, King Abdulaziz University stands out for having pioneered teaching Arabic to non-native speakers for over three decades. On 24/09/1430H, the University’s Rector, Prof. Dr. Osama bin Sadeq Tayeb, issued an administrative decision to form a team to prepare a proposal for the establishment of the Institute. Within a month, the team submitted a comprehensive plan, which was subsequently approved by the Higher Education Council on 26/04/1431 AH and later ratified by King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, may he rest in peace on 28/09/1431 AH. Since then, the Institute has worked diligently to create an exceptional academic environment, combining cutting-edge language teaching technologies, strategic and operational planning, and the recruitment of scientific, administrative, and technical talents.
