Course information
In the Arabic level 7 course you will take your language skills to a high degree of proficiency. After this course you will, among other things, be able to:
- read an article in an Arabic newspaper and listen to the news on the radio
- write a text about the history of the place where you live
- recognise 450 new Arabic words
Arabic level 7 is the right course for you if you can already speak Arabic reasonably well. For example, you can already read dialogues and short texts with the aid of a vocabulary list. You are also familiar with various grammatical concepts, such as the singular, dual and plural forms of nouns and adjectives, and the present and past tense, and masdar (gerund).
The course is taught in Arabic and Dutch or English, depending on the languages of the participants.
Course schedule and prices
Intake
The intake procedure for this course consists of: online intake conversation.
After you have enrolled for this course, we will invite you for an assessment to determine your level. We recommend that you enrol at least two weeks before the start of the course. If you enrol later than this, we cannot guarantee there will be time for the intake procedure.
If you have completed the Arabic level 6 course at UvA Talen, an assessment will not be necessary.
Course content
Even more so than in the other Arabic courses, this course focuses on putting your knowledge of Arabic into practice. This means more reading, writing, speaking and listening during the lessons. The course textbook will help you with this, as it is all written in Arabic.
During this course you will improve your Modern Standard Arabic using the topics inventions, sports, natural disasters and emergencies. You will read short biographies and news articles. You will practice writing stories, on topics such as the history of the place where you live and a rescue operation.
During the course, you will not only improve your Arabic language skills, but also learn more about Arabic culture. You will improve your speaking and listening skills by listening to news items and stories. You will also talk with your fellow students about traditions, inventions and international events.
The words you will learn during this course are of a high level and may go beyond what you use in your everyday life, yet it is important that you know them in order to read a newspaper article or listen to the news.
The grammar you learn during this course includes:
- ‘Kaana and her sisters’ (to be, become, is not, etc.), for example in أصبح طارق مديرَا (“Tariq became director.”)
- the passive voice, as in بُنِيتْ هذا العمارة في عام ١٩٩٣ (“This building was built in 1993.”)
- active and passive participles (اسم الفاعل واسم المفعول)
Certificate
You will complete the course with an oral and written exam.
If you successfully complete this course, you will receive a certificate showing the level you have attained and you will be able to continue to Arabic level 8.

What is the difference between an online and in class course? Can I combine an online and in class course?
There is no difference in the course content and course material between the online and in class course, only a difference in format. The online courses take place via Zoom and the in class courses at the Roeterseiland in Amsterdam. By using breakout-rooms teachers will aim to provide the same interaction as during an in class course. In both formats students are expected to actively participate in the course.
The choice for an online or in class course depends on your personal preference for location and teaching style.
It is not possible to combine an online and in class course. If you start a course online, you will follow the entire course online. The same applies to in class courses. This is in order to ensure the peace in our classes and avoid a lot of changes between classes.
How much time should I expect to spend on studying by myself?
Students generally need to spend double the amount of time of the course on studying by themselves. This means that if your course is 40 hours of class, you can expect about 80 hours of homework and self study. In our experience, the more time you invest in homework, the more you benefit from your course.
Which teacher will teach my group course?
In the week before the start of the course you will receive your final course confirmation which mentions your teacher.
At UvA Talen we have a variety of professional teachers with years of experience teaching to adults. Due to our feedback sessions with teacher we can guarantee the quality of our teachers. We have set standards for the qualification of our teacher. Depending on the type of course, we will often choose for a native speaker of your language.
