Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that the teaching of Arabic language has had a distinctive and important history in Australian universities from the middle of the twentieth century through to the twenty-first century.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, the author draws on a range of sources, government reports and surveys (both general and specific to Arabic), newspaper articles and published literature to give a comprehensive picture of the teaching of Arabic language in Australian universities over the last 60 or so years.FindingsThis paper has demonstrated that Arabic language teaching has moved through a number of phases as a scholarly, migrant and trade language. However, although the Middle East has become strategically important for Australia in defence and foreign affairs, and many people from the Middle East have migrated to Australia, Arabic (the major language of the Middle East) has never been given high priority by governments in Australia.Originality/valueThis paper, in taking an historical perspective, has demonstrated how Arabic has never commanded the attention of governments for funding to the same extent as Asian languages have.
阿拉伯语教学在澳大利亚大学中的地位
本文的目的是证明从20世纪中叶到21世纪,阿拉伯语教学在澳大利亚大学中有着独特而重要的历史。设计/方法/方法在这篇论文中,作者借鉴了一系列的资源,政府报告和调查(包括阿拉伯语的一般和特定),报纸文章和出版的文献,全面介绍了过去60多年来澳大利亚大学阿拉伯语教学的情况。本文表明,作为一种学术语言、移民语言和贸易语言,阿拉伯语教学经历了几个阶段。然而,尽管中东在国防和外交事务上对澳大利亚具有重要的战略意义,并且许多来自中东的人已经移民到澳大利亚,但阿拉伯语(中东的主要语言)从未被澳大利亚政府给予高度重视。原创性/价值本文从历史的角度论证了阿拉伯语如何从未像亚洲语言那样得到政府的重视和资助。
