Course description

This course is a very basic introduction to the Arabic language. You will learn “survival” words and phrases, as well as how to read and write both words and practical sentences in the Arabic alphabet.

  • form simple sentences from the words learnt
  • understand the basic logic of the language
  • learn to communicate and socialize with others in Arabic
  • learn to count and give dates
  • learn about pronouns and positional words too
  • practice what they have learnt in classroom conversations
  • learn about Arabic culture, the different dialects and their pronunciations, and how they may differ from Standard Arabic—the variety taught in class

Format

Our online hybrid language courses make language learning flexible and convenient. The use of both synchronous and asynchronous delivery styles allows for both real-time virtual classroom conversation practice (synchronous delivery) and self-paced study (asynchronous delivery). The synchronous delivery style will occur during the scheduled class dates and time, using Zoom for videoconferencing, chat and screen sharing for class instruction and pair/group work. The asynchronous delivery style uses Brightspace, an online environment where learners can access class materials and resources for self-paced study throughout the week. Educational activities can include exercises, readings, forums, audio/video files, quizzes, etc.
