WELCOME MESSAGE
Dr. Kosay Alshewiter
Welcome to the Language Center at Al-Ahliyya Amman University. Learning languages opens doors to knowledge, brings cultures together, and empowers individuals to participate confidently in an interconnected world. Guided by this belief, we aspire to make the Language Center a gateway connecting our university with the world and welcoming the world to our language, culture, and academic community. As part of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the Center is committed to providing a language learning experience that responds to our students’ needs and aspirations. We seek to equip learners with the communication skills they need to succeed in their studies, pursue professional opportunities, and engage internationally. Our approach emphasizes high-quality teaching, ongoing professional development for our instructors, the effective use of educational technology, and clearly defined, measurable learning outcomes. A central priority is to strengthen collaboration with universities and educational and cultural institutions in Jordan and around the world. In coordination with the relevant university offices, we aim to develop partnerships that lead to meaningful programs, joint initiatives, and enriching learning opportunities. Through these efforts, we seek to promote intercultural understanding, enrich university life, and support the university’s international engagement. Teaching Arabic to speakers of other languages is also central to our vision. We aim to provide an integrated learning experience that enables learners from diverse backgrounds to develop their Arabic language skills, explore Arab culture, and engage with Jordanian society. In doing so, we hope to create lasting connections between our university and the wider world. Building on the Center’s achievements and the dedication of our colleagues, we embrace teamwork, partnership, and continuous improvement. Our goal is for every learner to experience the impact of language learning through greater confidence, broader opportunities, and the ability to communicate effectively across cultures. I warmly welcome our students, colleagues, and partners, as well as everyone who shares our belief in the power of languages to advance knowledge, create opportunities, and connect people.
