According to the
Dublin descriptors, students, at the end of the course,
will demonstrate:
Knowledge and comprehension
By the end of the course, students will be able to
know the main morphosyntactic and lexical structures of Modern Standard Arabic
indicated in the syllabus, to interact in Modern Standard Arabic with a certain
degree of autonomy within the communicative situations indicated in the
syllabus and in any case on topics related to the personal sphere and current
affairs. They should also be able to read, summarise and
comment on moderately complex journalistic and literary texts in Arabic and
communicate in Moroccan Arabic at an elementary level.
Students should also be able to recognise and
describe the main characteristics of Maghrebi dialects and know the salient
features of their history and evolution.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding
Students should be able to adequately apply the
learned morpho-syntactic structures and vocabulary both in correct
communicative situations and for the comprehension and production of
medium-length and complex written texts. They will also be able to autonomously
translate texts from Arabic into Italian and vice versa.
Autonomy of judgement
Students will be able to use the tools they have
learnt autonomously in order to eventually continue studying Arabic at the
master's level.
Communicative skills
At the end of the course, students will be able to
understand the main points of clear messages in standard language on familiar
topics (at work, school, leisure, etc.). They will be able to produce simple
and coherent texts on topics that are familiar or of interest to them,
describing experiences and events, dreams, hopes, ambitions, and will be able
to briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans.
Learning skills
Students will acquire the skills necessary to make
judgements about their own learning and will be able to relate what they have
learned in different study contexts in order to put their knowledge and skills
into practice in further study or in the professional field.
