	Future of the Arabic Language
		The future of the Arabic language engages the attention of a host of linguists, thinkers, men of letters, authors and researchers concerned with the development of thoughts, language, literature and cultural life in general within the Arab-Islamic world.
		No researcher working on the process of language evolution contests or questions the validity of this rule, which should be adopted in assessing the situation of the Arabic language in the present era, and in understanding the retrogression, weakness and problems of the Arabic language.
		The keen interest taken in redressing language problems and issues, to help reverse the disaffection of language by large groups of its speakers, is part and parcel of the core interest in the civilizational edification of the Islamic Ummah.

	Future of the Arabic Language
		Safeguarding the Arabic language, working for its expansion and giving it more power among the Arab societies and the Arab Islamic communities overseas is not simply an educational and a learning enterprise, a cultural or literary activity, or a mandate of the Ministries of education or the specialized institutions, bodies and organizations.
		The Arabic language is one of the cornerstones of the cultural, civilization, and cultural security of the Arab and Islamic Ummah, both in the present and in the future.
		The language issue should go beyond the scope of appealing to, calling for or asking the competent authorities to discharge their duty towards their language, to issue responsible decisions, and pass binding laws that considers language error not merely as a defect, an insult, or a deficiency but as a breach of law.

	Al-Abed Al-Haq, A CASE STUDY OF LANGUAGE PLANNING IN JORDAN: Abstract
		This dissertation is an exploratory study of language conflict, language planning, and language-user attitudes toward Arabicization in the context of language policy in Jordan.
		The questionnaires probe nine factors: (a) language use patterns; (b) language attitudes; (c) proficiency in Arabic and English; (d) attitudes and knowledge about variation in Arabic; (e) instrumentality of language; (f) students' achievement; (g) general standard of education if Arabicization were implemented in Jordan; (h) practical commitment to Arabicization; and (i) attitudes towards Arabicization.
		Finally, the review of literature of Language Planning in Jordan reveals that there is a lack of formal association between the Arabic Language Academy of Jordan and the Jordanian universities' authorities, such that there is no real incentive for universities to adopt the fruits of the Academy's labors.
