Özet:

This study aims to reflect the real situation of the Arabic language instructors working in theology faculties in Turkey and to determine the professional qualifications required of the instructors who teach this language to non-Arabic speaking students, as well as the educational needs within the framework of these qualifications. The researchers conducting the study created a list of the required professional qualifications by scanning the education-related literature to achieve the aforementioned objectives. Then, they prepared survey questions and presented them to the experts for their evaluation, and they applied the survey after the changes made in the questions were in line with the answers received. As a sample, 70 people from Arab and Turkish nationals participated in the survey application. As a result of the study, some results, including the analysis of the real situation of the lecturers working in the faculties of theology in Turkey, were obtained and suggestions were made. In addition, a list of educational requirements that are deemed necessary for teaching staff and recommended to be included in education programs has been created.
