The aim of this research is to study the linguistic and pedagogical aspects of Ibn Khaldoon's work. Several ideas from Ibn Khaldoon's work show us that he was well ahead of his contemporaries due to his thought and foresight. His ideas on linguistics and education are a valuable source required by all scholars. Ibn Khaldoon theorised that language is a social phenomenon that has come as a result of a number of necessary interactions brought about by a society to allow for a choice and use of speech between individuals. As many scholars accept today, language is a personal acquisition that requires a social branch to appear and develop. As such, Ibn Khaldoon was ahead of other scholars of pedagogy when he confirmed that a strict approach towards pupils is harmful to them, as methods of teaching and its effect on pupils explain to us in detail.
