Training Program in Teaching Arabic

Overview

The Polis Institute is launching a specialized training track for native Arabic speakers who wish to become qualified instructors of Arabic using immersive methodologies and, particularly, the Polis Method. This program is designed to bridge the gap between our previous informal training opportunities and the Second Language Teaching Methodology Certificate, offering a structured and practice-oriented pathway into language teaching.Rooted in the principles that define the Polis Method, the program equips participants with pedagogical tools,  as well as with the ability to apply them effectively in real classroom settings. Particular emphasis is placed on developing practical teaching skills, understanding the dynamics of language acquisition, and learning how to guide students toward active use of the language.Through a combination of guided training, observation, and teaching practice, participants will gain the competence needed to teach Arabic in a dynamic and engaging way. This track is especially suited for those who are motivated to pursue teaching opportunities in different educational contexts, and who are looking for a clear and supported entry point into professional language instruction.Completion of the program grants a certificate and transcript.

The application form is available online.
