The Dept. of Arabic signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Arabic Language Academy in Sharjah (ALASHJ) on May 1, for the continuous cooperation of the development of Arabic education for foreigners.

Following the signing ceremony, Dr. Mhamed Safi al-Mustaghanimi, the president of ALASHJ, gave a lecture about efficient Arabic learning and education to the Dept. of Arabic students and graduate students majoring in Arabic Interpretation and Translation. The Dept. of Arabic and ALASHJ will continuously carry out academic exchanges based on the memorandum of cooperation.

Moon Jee-su, a student of the Dept. of Arabic expressed a positive view on the memorandum saying, “HUFS had a weak connection with the United Arab Emirates before. Now, more exchanges between HUFS and the U.A.E. are expected, providing more opportunities for us to study not only in the U.A.E. but also in other Gulf nations.”
