Learning outcomes
|
This course is intended for beginners who wish to acquire basic conversational skills in Israeli Colloquial Arabic, with no prior knowledge of the language required. Instruction focuses on practical communicative competence and the active use of vocabulary in everyday situations. Grammar is not the primary objective of the course; instead, emphasis is placed on listening comprehension, understanding, and speaking. The course makes use of authentic materials. Students will acquire the language naturally through conversation with a native speaker, interactive games, role-play scenarios, and thematic units such as family, food, holidays, and travel. Lecturer: Inas Abu Ayash Habiballah
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: - engage in basic conversation in Israeli Colloquial Arabic; - understand and actively use practical vocabulary related to common everyday situations (such as greetings, family, food, shopping, travel, work, and holidays); - ask and respond to simple questions; - demonstrate a basic cultural awareness of the environment of Arab citizens of Israel and the context in which the language is used; - conduct a short conversation without the need for support in Czech or English; - develop greater confidence in communicating with native speakers and gain motivation for the further development of their language skills.
