Knowing, on the one hand, that children’s direction towards this channel, usually by parents, pursuits learning correct language, trusting its “convergence’’ to the multifaceted composition of Arab identity; and noticing, on the other hand, that MBC3 broadcasts programmes in MSA, in English, but also in other Arabic varieties, give rise to the following questions: How do MBC3 programmes address Arab children identities? Which cultural identity facet(s) are they accommodating themselves to? Applying Howard Giles’ Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT), important facts about the perpetuation of Arabs’ sociolinguistic differences come to the fore.ensociolinguistic identity ; Arab children ; media language ; accommodation ; communicative choiceArticle
