Dean’s Message
Welcome to the Arabic Language Institute site. Our Institute offers
useful and exciting academic programs in a number of disciplines that
have been designed to meet the needs of learners of Arabic throughout the
world. The Institute was founded with the aim of designing and
implementing programs for the teaching of Arabic. In addition, the
Institute seeks to achieve proficiency in both practical and theoretical
fields. It also seeks to provide students with the background necessary in
theoretical and applied linguistics to prepare them for teaching Arabic to
non-Arabic learners. In order to enhance and enrich the students’
experience in the Institute, numerous cultural, social, and academic events
are also provided.
As the Dean of the Institute, I am proud of the excellence we have
achieved in all aspects of the program. All of the staff and students have
contributed to making the Institute a vibrant and productive Arabic-
language teaching center.

The Research Center
The Arabic Language Institute
King Saud University
Introduction
he role of universities and well-established scientific institutions is not
confined to education. Their role extends to cover other important
objectives, such as activating scientific interaction and stimulating mental
activities, which eventually result in the advancement of societies. The
Arabic Language Institute at King Saud University is a good example of
such institutions. It offers different consultative and scientific services that participate
in the advancement of the Saudi society.
The Research Center at the Arabic Language Institute (RCALI) is one link in the chain
of the Deanship of Scientific Research at KSU. Its general mission is to serve
scientific research via collaborating with researchers and experts in the fields of
language and language teaching. This mission is a continuation of a long tradition at
KSU, more than fifty years, of assisting research and researchers. This long tradition
always stimulates the Unit to activate its role in offering consultative and scientific
services in order to build the nation and the human civilization.
This site intends to acquaint the reader with RCALI at King Saud University (KSU)
and the services it offers in publishing scientific research in different fields such as,
linguistics, teaching foreign languages and other educational domains. Its publishing
service is governed by the scientific publication guidelines of KSU and is open to all
male and female researchers from KSU and from other institutions as well.

Historical Background
The sublime decree number (18935) issued on 25/6/1394H
comprised, in its second clause, the main mission of RCALI. To
accomplish that mission, a number of experts in Applied Linguistics have
supervised the Center since its founding, about 33 years ago. The
resolution of the Council of Higher Education number 2/10/1419H issued
on 6/2/1419H stated that all research centers at the Saudi universities seek
to accomplish the general objective regulated by the “unified bylaw of
scientific research at Saudi universities” which has been approved by the
Custodian of the Two Holly Mosques by the royal decree number
7/B/4403 on 2/4/1419H.
Objectives
The Center offers its consultative and scientific services to all
researchers from KSU and from other institutions who are interested
in the fields of language and education. The objectives of the RCALI
can be summarized in:
participating in accomplishing the general mission of the Arabic
Language Institute in serving the nation
encouraging scientific research via assisting members of staff
and other researchers
offering consultative services in related fields
encouraging research projects from institutions other than KSU
refereeing and publishing books, research papers and other
research projects
carrying out research projects inside and outside KSU
RCALI, also, holds a collection of books, periodicals and articles
related to linguistics, teaching foreign languages and education in its
internal library. Interested members of staff, students and other
researchers can benefit from this collection by visiting the internal
library.
RCALI Services
The services offered by the RCALI vary depending on the interests
and needs of the researchers. Nevertheless, they can be divided into three
categories:
1. Offering Consultation
One of the important functions that the center offers is the
consultative service for the scientific issues related to language
education. To accomplish that mission, the center depends on some of
language experts in the institute itself and sometimes from other
institutes inside the University or outside according to the regulating
system.
2. Carrying out Research
Carrying out research in different areas related to language education
is one of the fundamental duties of the Center. These research projects
can be from within the Center itself, from other departments at KSU, and
from institutes outside KSU or even outside KSA in accordance with the
regulating system.
3. Publication
The center supervises publication of scientific research. A researcher
can apply to publish his/her research project before or after conducting it.
If the application is successful, the Center sends the research to be
refereed and then publishes it within certain publication series.
Publication Criteria and Instructions at RCALI
All research papers published by RCALI are refereed in accordance
with the regulating system of KSU. The Center accepts research projects
according to the following criteria:
1. The research project should be in line with the regulating system
and policies at KSU.
2. The subject of the research should be related to linguistics,
teaching foreign languages or education in general.
3. The research should follow the principles of scientific research.
4. Within the text, references are pointed to by using the family
name of the author, the year of publication and the page number in
parentheses and separated by a comma. References are to be listed at the
end of the reseach paper in alphabetical order according to family (last)
name of the first author followed by the rest of the information in
accordance with the APA system.
5. Authors should submit an original hard copy of the research
paper together with three other hard copies and one softcopy in either a
Microsoft Word format (.doc), or a Portable Document Format (.pdf).
6. Authors should submit a short abstract written in English and
another one in Arabic of up to 200 words each (+/- 10%). Each should
include:
The title
Author/s and the institutions they belong to
The objectives, population, methodology and scope of the
paper as well as the results achieved.
Summary
RCALI operates under the umbrella of the Deanship of Scientific
Research at KSU. It seeks to assist researchers in different fields related
to language and linguistics. The overall aim is to participate in building
up the nation and the human civilization. Finally, the Center invites all
researchers to benefit from its services.
