Arabic Language: - Level 1: Nouns & Prepositions

 
 
 

Arabic Language is a four-level programme with a single objective: to make students independent readers of Arabic literature. That means students will have the knowledge, confidence and skillset to pick up an Arabic book and read & comprehend the literature by themselves.

Programme Breakdown

Level 1: Nouns & Prepositions
Students will study the most common and practical grammar rules which are essential for reading comprehension.

Level 2: Verbs & Patterns
Students will study the most common word patterns which are essential for vocabulary acquisition.

Level 3: Vocabulary & Sentences
Students will study texts to acquire words that are frequently used in day-to-day communication and across multiple contexts. Additionally, students will study other practical grammar rules not covered in previous levels.

Level 4: Vocabulary & Reading Practice
Students will study texts to acquire words that are frequently used in specific topics. In our case, most of the vocabulary will be related to the Islamic Sciences.
