Type of Arabic
The Arabic presented in the set does not lean towards any particular Arabic dialect. It is understood by the educated Arabs and used in the media, official businesses, politics, intellectual discourse, and literature. It is also a bridge to the high literary language of the Quran and Hadith.
The Course
The course consists of 4 levels: A1, A2, B1, and B2.
- A1 = 8 lessons
- A2.1 - A2.4 = between 12-16 lessons (per module)
- B1.1 - B1.4 = between 16-20 lessons (per module)
- B2.1 - B2.4 = between 20-24 lessons (per module)
Classes are conducted on a weekly basis. One lesson lasts 2 hours.
Students are expected to do homework and revisions every week. A free online app will be used to practice newly learnt vocabulary.
There will be revision tests for every module except A1. Students are required to pass at least the final revision test in each level to proceed to the next level.
The reference level (A1-B2) is based of the Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR), widely recognized by language institutions, universities, and multi-national corporations to measure a person’s ability in his non-native language.
At the end of B2 level, students have reached O-Level standard and may opt to take Arabic O-Level exam or the Test of Arabic as a Foreign Language (TOAFL) exam as a private candidate.
The complete duration to finish the course is at least 222 weeks - around 4.5 years of commitment.
After completing B2, students may choose to continue C1 Upper Intermediate level for about 1.5 years. For C1, the medium will be fully Arabic, and the content is geared towards Islamic and Arabic Heritage.
