Word Of the Dean faculty of Languages
Education has an important role in the progress of society, development of human skills, and communication capabilities with various other peoples. Education allows us to see others’ knowledge, intellectual production, and to transmitting the development process. If language is the receptacle of this scientific intellectual product, then teaching and learning of languages should be important for understanding that product and realizing its scientific aspects. This is also shown in light of the development of human communication, and cultural and touristic communication. Language serves the basic requirement for development. It serves sustainable development, achieves cultural cohesion and constructive communication between the people of this country and the peoples of the world.
The Faculty of Languages is one of the edifices of science and knowledge in the state of Libya, specializing in languages and translation on the basis of scientific theory for more than a quarter of a century. It is the window from which the University of Tripoli overlooks the world's languages and cultures. It is actually the real channel for the state of Libya to communicate and dialogue with the whole world.
The Faculty of Languages, with all its systems, is the bridge of knowledge to see and understand the various global scientific and intellectual products and then transfer them to reach effective participation in the human knowledge. From this standpoint, the Faculty is currently moving towards activating its role in cultural interaction by seeking the continuous development of the educational process. The Faculty teaches live languages. The Department of Translation is currently being developed to be a distinguished research institution of high quality in the fields of translation and Arabization for the five languages taught at the Faculty, and making it a center for facilitating cultural and intellectual communication – whether locally or internationally.
