Our summer courses have special, attractive conditions for students and are more intensive than our regular courses (two sessions per week).
This summer we offer two different courses; both dealing with crucial topics about the Arab world. We recommend them to students having already completed a bachelor's degree. Both courses are offered within our intermediate level.
| Summer Course 1: | "دور المرأة العربية في الثورات العربية وهل تغير؟" The role of Arab women during the Arab spring and how it has developed.
Lecturer: Adel Salama, M.A., Sultan Qaboos University, Oman. Tuesday 12:00-13:30 (CET); Friday 12:00-13:30 (CET) 8. July - 1. August 2014 (8 sessions). Class is taught mainly in Arabic. Google Hangouts is used for communication. Level as specified by CEFR: B1-B2. |

| Mode | Twice a week, 90 minutes, in a small group of six to nine, online. Eight progressive lessons to a special topic. Estimated time to prepare the lessons will be at least 3 hours per session. Cancelled sessions due to an emergency on the part of the lecturer will be substituted (normally added at the end of the course). | |
| Certificates | A certificate of participation will be issued if the student has attended at least three quarters of all meetings and if he/she has met the course requirements as defined by the lecturer at the beginning of the semester (This might include presentations in class or written exercises). | |
| Fees | 200 CHF for students enrolled at a university.
250 CHF for everyone else. Fees are expected to be paid before teaching starts. If a student has to cancel his/ her participation before the first session, he/ she will be reimbursed the whole amount minus a charge of 50.- CHF. No reimbursement will be paid after the first session. |
|
| Registration | here Registration is open until 21. June 2014. |
|
| Technical Issues | Students need a computer, internet access, a headset (compulsory) and a Skype (course 2) or Google account (course 1). We will check in a personal online meeting whether the connection is working. Technical problems showing up during the semester that prevent a student from attending the class are subject to his/her own responsibility. Missed classes will, therefore, not be substituted. However, if a technical problem prevents all students from participating, the class will be substituted (normally added at the end of the course). |
