ALC has been teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language for more than 33 years. We are the only language school in Dubai to teach Arabic from Beginners through to A-levels. We use a simplified and logical approach, exclusively developed by the founder, Maliha Wehbe, to make the learning experience easy, effective and fun. Our classes are communicative, student-oriented and highly interactive, and we limit the class sizes to 12 students. While we teach all four skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing), emphasis is on getting students to SPEAK. For students with prior knowledge of Arabic, an assessment is arranged prior to the class start date.
Please check the Courses tab for a list of the public classes we offer every term. We also offer private classes, which can be scheduled as per the student's demand and teacher's availability. The cost for one private hour is AED 240 and AED 7,200 for a complete course of 30 hours. For more details please visit our website www.arabiclanguagecentre.com.
The Arabic Language Centre is conveniently located in the Dubai World Trade Centre -- a crossroad between new and old Dubai. On one side we have the city's new skyline of hotels, freehold properties, business districts, shopping malls and entertainment resorts, and to the other side are the souqs, landscaped parks and retail and residential districts. DWTC is also close to Dubai's historic creek, wildlife bird sanctuary, zoo, museum, heritage sites, beaches, championship golf courses, and marina.
Located in the Sheikh Rashid Tower, ALC is minutes away from the outlets, restaurants and cafes of the Dubai World Trade Centre.
Furthermore, ALC is just a few minutes walk from Dubai World Trade Centre Metro Station. To reach ALC, follow the signs to Sheikh Rashid Tower, then take the lift to Level 4. If you are coming by car from Sheikh Zayed Road - Abu Dhabi to Dubai direction - take the first right at the Trade Centre roundabout then turn right to the drop-off zone.
