Arabic Refresher Course - 25 Weeks
Q-Iman is proud to introduce the Arabic Refresher Course aimed at students who have previously studied Arabic but wish to learn to brush up on their grammar through application. This course is designed to help students apply their knowledge of Arabic through the study of simple texts; applying grammar, translating, extracting phrases and expressions, building their own compounds and learning to accustom themselves with different styles of writing and reading within the Arabic language.
To ensure that immersion continuous throughout the programme, aspects of lessons will be taught in Arabic whilst students will be encouraged to ask questions, discuss, and comment in Arabic. Whilst students will benefit from the vast knowledge of Arabic texts, the focus will be engaging with the Arabic element so as to prepare them to be able to go onto advance classes and texts.
