ICESCO publishes free two-volume proceedings on teaching Arabic grammar to non-Arabic speakers

ICESCO has published the proceedings of its Second International Conference on Arabic language, subtitled Modern Approaches and Smart Applications in Teaching Arabic Grammar and Morphology to Non-Arabic Speakers. The two volumes run to 1,124 pages and collect 52 peer-reviewed papers by 53 researchers from 16 countries. The conference was held in Bursa, Türkiye, in April 2026 with Bursa Uludağ University. The papers aim to move grammar and morphology from a purely theoretical subject to an integrated learning experience, covering the difficulties of teaching grammar, how it is handled in textbooks, assessment of grammatical competence, modern teaching strategies that move beyond rote learning, and applications of artificial intelligence in grammar instruction. Both volumes are free to download as PDFs from ICESCO's website. Why it matters: most of the world's Muslims do not speak Arabic as a first language, so the methods used to teach it are a quiet but foundational piece of knowledge infrastructure, and publishing the research openly lets teachers and curriculum designers actually use it.
