Lower Intermediate Levantine Arabic
Part of the range of Arabic language learning courses and activities at SOAS Language Centre in London
Mode of Attendance: Part Time
Description
A one-year evening course in Levantine Arabic for Lower Intermediate Level learners who have completed the Beginners course or its equivalent
This course aims to improve the skills acquired on the Levantine Arabic Evening Beginners course or similar courses, and to develop communicative skills in a wide range of contexts enabling the student to effectively interact in situations where Levantine Arabic would be spoken.
Having completed the course students should be able to:
- Express themselves in Arabic using more complex sentence structures
- Understand a range of spoken Arabic beyond common courtesy and survival requirements
- Use a greater variety of vocabulary
The course is taught in English and Arabic. Emphasis is placed on the learner’s ability to speak and listen. There is a balance between communicative activities, structure, practice and grammar. Class size is limited to twelve to make learning as interactive as possible.
Entry to the course is by assessment only. Applicants must contact the Language Centre to arrange for an assessment at least 3 weeks before the beginning of the term.
Fees for this Course
The fee for each ten-week term is £345 payable in advance.
