Curriculum

The BA in Arabic Language Studies programme accepts non-native speakers of Arabic into the degree, with no minimum admission requirement of Arabic familiarity or competency.

The programme has been curriculated following second language acquisition and applied linguistic principles.

The curriculum begins with basic introductions to Arabic, which includes Arabic letters and grammar; and progresses to more advanced levels of Arabic listening, speaking, reading and writing (LSRW) proficiencies.

The programme duration is four years (eight semesters) on a full-time registration basis. During these four years, students will study different modules with scaffolded learning and teaching.

Modules will include grammar, morphology, rhetoric  البلاغة العربية  and linguistics.

Students will also be exposed to Arabic literature from different time periods, as well as Islamic, sacred texts extracted from the Holy Quran and the traditions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
