Arab British Intermediate Languages Courses
Intermediate level courses continue from the foundations laid in the beginners' classes, and seek to enhance competence in speaking, reading and writing Arabic. You can also enter at this level even if you have not attended the beginners' classes, as long as you have a good grasp of basic Arabic.
Similar to the beginners' classes, lesson periods are generally divided in half, with the first hour spent on conversation, and the second hour on reading and writing. The student is introduced to a wider range of vocabulary and there are more in-depth comprehension passages and colloquial conversation exercises for the student to master.
Substantial use is made of visual and audio teaching aids, such as Volume 1 of Al-Kitab Al-Assasi (literally 'The Basic Book'), a language-training textbook approved by the Arab League, with its accompanying cassette tapes. Students will also use Arabic for English Speaking Students, by Dr. Muhammad Abdul-Rauf - a recent publication by Al-Saadawi Books.
Student assignments are set after every lesson, and students are awarded a certificate by the Chamber on successful completion of the course.
We realise that not everyone can attend our courses during weekday working hours. Our course schedules are, therefore, designed to be as flexible as possible.
