Our approach is mainly communicative. We believe in interactive and dynamic methodology. It proved to be very effective in the development of students' communication skills. In most of our classes, students are given good chances to practice and develop their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. The communicative method belief is that it is important not to be restricted by a specific Arabic language textbook. Although we rely on Al-Kitaab and other series, we never feel that textbooks must be used from cover to cover. They should only be used as tool, as a starting-point. With a little inspiration and imagination, an Arabic language textbook can be manipulated and rendered for a more communicative purpose. Teachers must free themselves from it, rely more on their own command of language and professional expertise as to what linguistic items, skills, idioms, phrases, words, need to be drilled, exploited and extended. We do not want you to know Arabic without being able to use it. We want you to use it, practice it. Language is a practical skill you need to develop through practice, not only something you need to learn.
We offer two types of certificates:
- A certificate of attendance: this can be offered to all students who attend classes regularly.
- A certificate of passing courses examinations: this can be offered after passing final exams for all or some Arabic courses. If students choose to receive this kind of certificate they should sit for a final exam and receive grades. An official transcript is issued with this certificate. This type of certificates can be offered to all or part of the courses you study.
