| Description:
| Aims: The course aims to provide the basic functional language and skills necessary for communication in predictable everyday situations. The course provides basic cultural information and introduces students to some social convention of the countries where Arabic is spoken. Learning Outcomes: On completion of the course, students will be able to: * Take part in a basic factual conversation * Deal with routine questions and statements * Understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of immediate relevance * Read single words and phrases written in Arabic alphabet * Write notes, complete forms and write short paragraphs adapting given phrases and applying new grammatical structures with a degree of accuracy. Skills: * Speaking, Reading, Listening and Writing in the target language (all assessed) * Interpersonal skills, communication, team skills (facilitated) * IT skills (facilitated) * Intercultural skills (facilitated and taught) * Autonomous learning (facilitated) * Research and organisational skills (facilitated) * Cognitive (taught). Content: The course introduces the students to the basic elements of the target language through the four core skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Typical scenarios and situations experienced when visiting or receiving visitors from a country where Arabic is spoken will be reproduced, i.e. providing basic personal and family information, local geography and employment. The course follows a graded programme of study familiarising participants with a number of fundamental linguistic structures specific to the target language. In addition to the two hours of class tuition, which concentrate on integrated skills, one hour will be spent on focussing on the grammatical structures of the language to promote accuracy in writing. |
