Abstract

The researcher has prepared a questionnaire in order to know about the objectives of learning and teaching the Arabic language, and then he distributed it to the students and faculty members of the Arabic Language departments at three private universities and asked them to kindly fill it out objectively and honestly. The researcher then collected the questionnaires and studied and analyzed them. He found that many of the Arabic language students were desirous to work in fields other than the education field and in jobs other than teachers. They wanted to work in other fields such as the Radio, TV, editing, book writing, play writing, translation, scientific research … etc. In the light of the results of the above mentioned questionnaire, the researcher examined the study plans of the Arabic Language departments in the three universities, and he was surprised to discover that the courses included in such plans were intended to meet the needs of those who would be working in teaching only, and he found that they were far away from the needs of the labor market that required graduates capable of working in fields other than teaching and education. Consequently, the researcher made a restructuring of those plans to meet the goals and objectives of the students in joining the Arabic Language departments, and the new plan was circulated to the three universities to apply it. The researcher was so glad when he made a follow up of the graduates who studied at the Arabic Language departments that applied the new plan and found that some of them were working in fields other than teaching and education.
