It is with deep sorrow and an overwhelming sense of loss that
we announce the passing of Professor Emeritus El-Said Badawi,
Professor of Arabic Language and Linguistics in the Department of Applied
Linguistics at the American University in Cairo. Dr. Badawi passed away on
Saturday evening after a heroic battle with illness. The funeral procession
took place on Sunday, March 16, and condolences may be extended at El
Hamdiyya El Shazliyya Mosque on Thursday, March
20, after Maghreb prayers.
        Founder of the highly reputed MA program in Teaching Arabic as a
Foreign Language and long-standing director of the Arabic Language
Institute, Dr. Badawi was a distinguished member of the AUC community,
which he joined in 1967. Famed for his groundbreaking scholarship,
Dr.Badawi's erudition has inspired generations of Arabists in Egypt and
around the world. A true educator, he was gifted in the classroom as well,
reliably managing to bring out the very best in his students. While his
passionate dedication to the field earned him their love and
respect, his signature sparkling wit endeared him to friends and
colleagues far and wide.
        Dr. Badawi is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mary Badawi, retired
veteran English instructor at AUC's ELI, and by four children and a number
of grandchildren. The details of a memorial service at the university to
celebrate his life and achievements will be announced in due course
