Abstract
Communication in the Arab world is based on style and this is against to the Western world in which style does not play an important role in communicating. The Middle East cultures, which most of Arabic countries are part of, are the second ranking after Japan in relying on the linguistic context. The present researcher tried to show the role of linguistic context in teaching Arabic language by using a descriptive-analytic method. The results showed that the context view is a main element in teaching Arabic language to non-Arabs and sentence context is frequently used in activating the language of Arabic learners. Moreover, “self-questioning” is an efficient method for developing students’ autonomy in learning the language and methods like “paragraph summarizing” and “collocating” and “filling in the blanks” improve students’ vocabulary knowledge and contribute to their understanding of words in different contexts.
