Arabic Advanced A (T6003)
15 credits, Level 5
Autumn teaching
This stage 5 advanced course is for you if you have already acquired the capacity to function with some autonomy in the target language.
Building on existing levels of proficiency at level B1 (Independent User) of the Common European Framework of Reference [CEFR] the course aims to:
- enable you to understand the main ideas within extended discourse and to communicate effectively in the target language, with increasing fluency, confidence and spontaneity, in a variety of contexts
- provide opportunities, across a variety of topics, for practice of understanding and communication in the target language using the four language skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing, at an advanced level
- introduce and develop the range of complex elements of target language structures, syntax, and vocabulary to allow continued progression
- facilitate the analysis of some aspects of the general social, political and/or cultural background of the language through a variety of contextualised activities and materials, in a range of media, e.g. text; audio; audio-visual; digital.
Successful completion of the course is equivalent to level B1-B2 (Independent User) of the CEFR for Languages.
