In the mastery of the Arabic language, there is a significant relationship between the attitude of the students and the teaching. However, in numerous studies, the teaching ability is greater in determining the students’ success when it comes to learning Arabic, Acting Minister of Religious Affairs Pengiran Dato Seri Paduka Haji Mohd Tashim bin Pengiran Haji Hassan said.
He said this during a Doa Kesyukuran ceremony at The Rizqun International Hotel in Gadong yesterday.
“Teachers need to improve the quality of teaching and learning in line with today’s educational challenges by enhancing students’ understanding and helping them towards more effective learning.
“Diversifying Arabic language teaching strategies will allow improved language abilities among students, including having wisdom in understanding and changing students’ attitudes for the better,” said the acting minister.
He added, “The objective of the Arabic language skills guidance and training programme is to encourage the use of the language and strengthen its status by making it the main language in Arabic schools, developing the institution in providing services related to the language teaching and learning through effective contributions – different approaches, diverse teaching methods, strategies and educational methods.
