Of the six languages I have studied (including Arabic as described in the article), not one of the programs have included using a keyboard, but then again I studied the last of these well over a decade ago. I am surprised keyboards would be used, especially for a language like Arabic whose writing system is inherently "cursive" and pretty deeply tied to the language's cultural identity. Is computer keyboard based language learning actually a significant thing these days?
