Overview
What you will study
The Modern Standard Arabic courses offered by Concordia University of Edmonton are aimed at building and developing skills in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), the language read and understood by educated Arabs from the Arabian peninsula to Morocco, and are offered in response to the expanding Arabic Community in Canada and interested learners who need to learn the language for non-credit purposes.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- The first level of the program is an introductory course of Modern Standard Arabic language at the end of which you will be able to listen and understand required material in the text book, and read, write, and speak at a beginner level.
- You will be introduced to the Arabic script and phonetic system, will acquire basic vocabulary, essential grammatical concepts, practice short dialogues, and have elementary knowledge of Arabic culture.
