Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is designed for complete beginners of Modern Standard Arabic and its aim is to teach the fundamentals, such as the main grammar rules or the essentials of Arabic writing. Students will learn how to apply the language in everyday situations, using the four skills reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
Teaching methods include lectures in the classical sense (where both students and teacher are present - these lectures will be also streamed online), as well as accompanying audio and text materials, which are available online.

Kindly note that collaboration or copying with/from colleagues is not allowed. Materials to be used during the exam will be announced before.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students have to write the exam independently and without help from third parties. They have 90 minutes to complete written tasks related to the Arabic alphabet, basic grammar rules and conversational texts. More details regarding the exam are to be found in Moodle. Students who have at least 50 per cent of the tasks successfully completed will pass the exam.

Examination topics

Subject of the exam are the first four chapters in the textbook (including new words and phrases and the grammar discussed in these chapters) as well as the Arabic alphabet and basic orthographic rules.
