Arabic Language Programme

This programme teaches students to achieve sustained progress in speaking, listening, reading, and writing Arabic. The programme is structured into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, all running concurrently. Classes emphasise active learning, encouraging students to engage directly with the Arabic language through interactive exercises and dynamic discussions. Collaborative learning is promoted through group activities and peer reviews, allowing students to learn from each other and build a supportive learning community.

 The primary course textbook is “al-‘Arabiyyatu bayna yadaik”, which is augmented with carefully curated materials for classroom and independent study.

Weekly 1.5-hour sessions, 12-week rolling terms, are designed for blended learning, supporting both on-campus and online attendance. These are supplemented by midweek guided peer revision sessions.
