Arabic Courses

The “Arabic” course is for those who are interested in learning the Arabic language and becoming familiar with the Arabic culture. There are more than 310 million Arabic speakers in the world, which makes it an interesting second or foreign language to learn. Besides, as the number of Arab-speaking immigrants to North America (especially Canada) is increasing, there are many people who would like to learn the Arabic language either for communication or for providing services for these immigrants. The Arabic language program has been designed to meet these people’s needs and interests.

The “Arabic” program is a conversation course for those who are interested in learning colloquial Arabic. The program mainly focuses on the conversational aspects of the language, as it is a language with very different formal and informal features. Therefore, the Arabic program is not intended to focus on formal and literary versions of the language, as they are used in religious and literary texts. The program is presented in two conversation courses: Arabic Conversations 1 and Arabic Conversations 2. The program has been designed for adults and young adults who are interested in learning about the Arabic language and culture. The Arabic program adopts a communicative methodology which focuses on developing communicative and oral skills. The program guides language learners from Arabic sounds (which are quite different from many other languages in many ways) to more advanced conversations. Besides, participants will learn a large number of vocabulary and grammar used in colloquial Arabic.
