One of the main challenges in teaching Arabic language is teaching the phonetic system in a systematic method Because language learners need to understand different phonetic levels through practical training in order to establish communicate purposefully and interact properly with native speakers, so that in addition to acceptable and comprehensible pronunciation in their interactions, they can provide correct verbal and non-verbal reactions to the spoken word. Therefore, the present study intends to study the task-based approach in teaching the Arabic sounds with a descriptive-comparative method. The results indicate that main difference between Persian sounds and Arabic is in the fourth level of difficulty (θ /ħ /ð /sˤ /dˤ /tˤ /ðˤ /ʕ /ɣ) and then in the third level (z /s /ʃ /dʒ /k /q /w). the task-based approach with the “pre-task phase” makes the learner cognitively aware of these differences as well as the level of Suprasegmental and creates the necessary preparations, then in the stage During task with emphasis on all aspects of language at the level of Segmental and suprasegmental of speech and behaviorally reinforce them by engaging the learner in applied tasks based on their needs in communication situations, emphasizing pivotal interaction. So that by using real tasks and in the context of the audio text, in addition to placing the learner in areal communication situation, the challenge of changing the properties of sounds, is solved by accompaniment, and by stabilizing the cognitive dimension and repetition of tasks in quasi-real situations in the post-task phase. In creases the communication ability of language learners. Therefore, it can be said that the task-based approach is quite suitable for use in teaching the phonetic system of the Arabic language.

Language, as the highest cultural and civilizational phenomenon, is one of the skills acquired through the foreign traditions and community of speakers. Meanwhile, language, as the most important factor in transmitting the past culture and heritage, has a significant role in clarifying and organizing the thoughts and beliefs of society, which is considered as one of the main constituents of identity, personality and culture of societies. Language transaction and cultural and civilizational impacts can be realized throughout history by looking at the intertwined relationships of Arabs and Iranians in different cultural, religious, political, strategic, and other dimensions. These relationships are revealed at two levels of language and culture more than anything else. An important point regarding learning a foreign language is that the cultural approach of communities to foreign languages is influenced by the culture in the broad sense of word. Macro policies of teaching Arabic language in Iran are influenced, intentionally or unintentionally, by this approach and cultural attitudes. In most cases, these attitudes are not consistent with the macro goals and strategies of this field due to cultural, social and political challenges. The present study seeks to analyze the good and friendly linguistic-cultural relations of Arabs and Iranians in the past, and to investigate the causes of the decline of learning Arabic language from two perspectives of culture and language policy making/planning. As such, the present study provides basic approaches and plans to promote teaching Arabic language at both general and specialized levels.
