About

The world in 2023 is certainly not the 1990s anymore. The Arabic language has gained more popularity in North America & Europe while The English language has gained its solid grounds in Arabic speaking countries. With this diversification in both areas of the world there comes the importance of “TASOL” the Arabic Language Teachers Training Program. To add to that importance is the need of preserving the Arabic language among the new Arabic communities’ youngsters and children around the world. Education Canada College has founded TASOL since 1995 and became one of the world’s pioneers in this program. 

Without the proper training, teaching the rules of Arabic Grammar & Conversation can be extremely challenging. Since native Arabic speakers learn grammar naturally, many teachers find it easy to make grammatical corrections but difficult to explain such rules. TASOL methodologies provide a thorough understanding of different aspects of Arabic grammar and communication skills along with technological coaching in e-learning.

TASOL coaches future teachers to apply up-to date skills to teach effectively in classrooms or online. TASOL does not claim that has the magic key to all Arabic language educational and instructional needs, but certainly is a concise and categorized introduction in the teaching of a language that has covered one fifth of our planet.
