A Practical Experiment on a Growing Baby in Bangladesh: A Model of Teaching and Learning Arabic in a Non-Native Environment

To learn a second language is always a bonus in the basket. Arabic language in modern context, is one of the most influential languages of the world which is used by around 300 million people around the globe as a medium of communication. Western cultural hegemony and the rise of materialistic worldview among Muslims resulted in a negative impact on the long-culturally cherished image and value of the Arabic language. To Muslims, Arabic is the language of their constitution (Al-Quran). Being a language of rituals and ibadah, the Arabic language deserves extra care from the Muslim community, which seems to be a lack among many Muslims, which (Arabic language) appeals to be practiced in the family environment as a part of sunnahas well. This research explores an effective way to learn the Arabic Language and articulates a model of teaching and learning the Arabic language in a non-native environment. The paper primarily delineates the experiment of a father in teaching the language in a home environment. It also discusses the methods that can make the process easy and effective. The research summarizes the effective method of teaching and learning the Arabic Language at home. In doing so, the researcher would go through the experiences encountered while teaching the Arabic language to his child, and at the same time justify his experiences with the scholarly writings that came to similar conclusions. The researcher claims the method is proven and suggests to the parents its application if they are interested in teaching a second language at home in a non-native environment.
