Arabic belongs to the Semitic language family. It is also an Afro-Asiatic language as it is used in countries located both in Asia and North Africa. It is one of the six official languages of the United Nations and the native tongue for approximately 250,000,000 speakers. It is the official language of twenty-two countries: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen, Egypt, Sudan, Djibouti, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania, Chad, Eretria, and Comoros. Because Arabic is the language of the Qur’an, it is also learned and used by many speakers in other Middle Eastern and Islamic countries.

Standards of Teaching Foreign Language
The 5 Cs of the Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century from ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) are: Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities. Communication, meaning the skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, is the primary focus of language acquisition. Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities contribute to and enhance the communicative language experience by supplying context, that is, what students communicate about.
