The Department of Arabic and Near Eastern Studies:  The Arabic stream

The programme of Arabic in the Department of Arabic and Near Eastern  
Studies is given an impetus within the context of Arabic culture and  
language.  Courses in the Arabic language and in the Arabic and  
Islamic civilizations are both offered, with the main emphasis on the  
language components.  The language courses purport to bring students  
into direct contact with Arabic via training in grammar, general  
philology, and the reading of literary works in the original version.   
On the other hand, the civilization courses are aimed at providing the  
students with an overview of various cultural aspects - such as  
archaeology, history, religion, and literature - of Arabic and Islamic  
societies.  Students are expected to boost the courses on civilization  
with a good amount of personal background reading.

The duties which the appointee may be expected to perform are:

Teaching including tutorials and seminars, supervision of practical  
work and placements, monitoring on projects and other personally  
undertaken student enterprises;
Preparing course materials;
Researching and publishing both individual and collaborative, in  
priority areas established by the University;
Continuous assessment of students, setting and marking of examination  
papers including dissertations within established time-frames;
Participating in the administration of academic affairs at academic  
and university levels;
Contributing to national and regional development particularly in the  
area of specialisation and through cooperation with governmental,  
intergovernmental, regional and non-governmental institutions and  
services;
Any other relevant duties as may be required by the University.
