Abstract: Language instruction is an important part of Middle Eastern studies, as in all area programs. Analysis of the language facts of the Middle East and American needs and interests in the area makes it possible to set reasonable goals for language study. Traditional patterns of Middle Eastern lan guage study are no longer appropriate, but recent innovations in curriculum, methods of teaching, summer programs and study abroad point toward solutions of the problems. Every area has its particular language problems, but approaches in the Middle Eastern field may have counterparts for other area programs.
