Application of Language Planning in Jordan

Abstract
This study explores the current linguistic situation in Jordan, focusing on the Arabic language and identifying significant linguistic challenges such as the youth’s declining proficiency, the dominance of English in higher education, and the lack of standardized Arabic in official documents. By analyzing historical and contemporary language planning efforts, including ancient Arabic models and current initiatives in Jordan, the study aims to comprehensively understand the linguistic reality and propose a future vision to enhance and develop the Arabic language. The study employs a descriptive-analytical method, historical analysis, case studies, and foresight to achieve its objectives. The recommendations emphasize integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into language planning to address these challenges effectively, using AI technologies for educational tools, research and development, international collaboration, and supportive legislation.
Keywords: AI, Language, Jordan, Language Planning, Policy Making.
