This study aims to discover the contribution of Arabic corpus in language studies, and to explain it’s role in learning and teaching Arabic language. This study analyses two Malaysian corpora which are Arabic Textbooks Corpus and Arabic Corpus of International Islamic University Malaysia. The first corpus is on Arabic textbooks used in Malaysian secondary schools by the first until the fifth years of the secondary schools. The second corpus contains academic texts for example from theses, conference papers and journal articles. The result of this study shows the word list and concordance for both corpuses. This study proves that the corpus is important to develop the language among learners, teachers, writers of textbooks, exercise books and dictionaries. The word list is regarded as the basic reference in language study as well as in learning and teaching of language. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper tries to trace practical mechanisms of empowering the Arabic language in its surroundings, and its impact on the construction of knowledge: culturally, intellectually and economically, while showing the effectiveness of modern curricula in the teaching of Arabic to non-native speakers. This is done by tracing issues and new analytical models to understand how to characterize language skills for non- Arabic speakers. Based on the integrated approach that integrate a number of disciplines and cognitive fields to the approach of teaching / learning Arabic language such as: computer linguistics, cognitive linguistics, applied linguistics, cognitive psychology; the study would attempt to construct a theoretical conception based on linguistic, educational and educational engineering to develop Arabic language teaching / learning mechanisms for non-Arabic speakers, and to propose an Arabic computer model for teaching / learning Arabic.

The learning and teaching of Arabic language in many non-Arabic speaking countries face several obstacles which should be overcome in order to advance the Arabic language, especially in light of the migration of the Arabs to neighboring countries, among them Turkey. This paper intends to highlight the repercussions of the migration of these Syrian Arabs to Turkey in relation to the teaching of Arabic and its learning to non-native speakers and discussing the possible means to benefit from this situation to improve the teaching and learning of the language. Among the conclusions of the study are that the interaction between Arabic and Turkish languages intensifies as the two communities became closer; the spread of Arab in Turkey and other western countries is an ample opportunity to spread the learning and teaching of Arabic among the non-native speakers and also to strengthen Arabic in the souls of the immigrants in those countries; the Turkish government itself has issued rules and regulations that would help the learning and teaching of Arabic for nonnative speakers; only the correct policy can help to sustain Arabic from diminishing and being forgotten.
