Arabic Language Level

AY2019/2020 Semester 2

This course is a continuation of the previous two Arabic courses offered by CML. The course consolidates and extends the skills acquired on Arabic Language Levels 1 and 2 (ie, LA9001 and LA9002 respectively). In this course, the usage of various grammatical constructions learnt in LA9002 are strengthened and expanded, enabling students to express themselves better in their written and oral expressions using the past, present and future tenses. The course will enable learners to use Modern Standard Arabic in various real life situations and further enhance their ability in the four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The course teaches students to express themselves effectively in everyday communicative interactions beyond basic survival requirements. It enables students to use a range of complex phrases and sentence structures as well as build on their vocabulary and idiomatic expressions. It also further develops students' ability in reading and writing in the Arabic writing system so that they can successfully read and write. Furthermore the course focuses on the expansion of vocabulary through the usage of more complex audio and written texts.
