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 or sent by email to his wife at
the following address: maryb at aucegypt.edu <maryb at aucegypt.edu>
 *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
andaround 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.
