Focus: The new Media Arabic Webclass programme is now online. The Media Arabic Webclass is a web based language training in intermediate to advanced Arabic offered through the Asia-Orient-Institute at the University of Zurich. Details can be found on our website: 

http://www.aoi.uzh.ch/institut/weiterbildung/mediaarabic.html.

The aim of all our courses is to bring Modern Standard Arabic out of a purely academic classroom setting to "real life" by offering courses dealing with current issues and enabling and encouraging students to autonomous working with authentic materials. Besides our regular, annual courses (one session per week), we also offer summer, intensive courses (two sessions per week) with attractive, reduced fees for students, and customized programs for individuals, organizations or companies.

Description:
Information technology and a relative atmosphere of freedom in the Arab world have led to the development of influential media that have powerful impact on public opinion and provided a forum for debates on a variety of political, cultural and socio-economic topics. During the Arab Spring and its repercussions, these media have played a central role in sending the spark of change from one country to another. Consequently, a good command of Media Arabic is an essential prerequisite not only for researchers on Arab World-related topics but also for practitioners in the field.

The Institute of Asian and Oriental Studies offers different intensive courses to meet the needs of PhD students, scholars, diplomats, lawyers, journalists, etc. with a sound theoretical knowledge of Standard Arabic, but have no time to follow traditional language training. In several levels, we will improve your command of Media Arabic in the different language skills: reading, listening, talking, and (to a lesser degree) writing. See the description of the courses and our level offered in order to know more about the focus and aim of each course.
