Department of Modern Arabic

 

Arabic is the official language of more then 18 Arab countries besides being one of the six languages of the UNO. Above all, it is the language of Holy Quran. It has assumed special importance in the contemporary world. A couple of decades back students who chose Arabic as an elective did it to read its literature or facilitate touring in the Arab countries. Today, the story is different. It promises lucrative employment opportunities. It is therefore, no surprise that enrolment in U. S Colleges in Arabic courses registered 92% increase between 1998 and 2002. Following 9/11 and the Iraq war the demand has doubled not only in U. S but elsewhere too.

     

The Masters programme in Arabic has been so conceived that the students master Arabic language and read its rich literature. Courses have also been devised to impart teaching in English and use of Computers. The latter two innovations are unique to the Arabic programme of this University. They are aimed at improving employability of the students.

Diploma in Arabic-English Translation

Translation from one language to another has been in practice for centuries. Hundreds of literary works of different world languages have been translated into Arabic and vice versa. Technical advancements have turned the entire world into small village and increased the importance of translation manifold. Oil boom in the Arab world and some recent incidents have increased the need of Arabic translators many times more. There are hundreds of jobs awaiting competent Arabic-English translators. In view of this the Department has designed specialized diploma courses which will prepare students to undertake journalistic, academic and documentary translation. They will also be trained to use Arabic software. The diploma is of six months duration and carries 24 credits. The course structure will be as follows:

 

AET-1: Arabic-English Translation-I

AET-2: Arabic-English Translation-II

AET-3: English-Arabic-Translation-I

AET-4: English-Arabic Translation II

AET-5: Oral Expression in Arabic

AET-6: Composition and Essay Writing in Arabic

 

Diploma in Spoken English

 

English has become an international language for interaction. In the contemporary world every kind of knowledge is in this language. Therefore, students of other disciplines need to learn English. The Madrasa alumni have either no knowledge or have very little knowledge of English with the result they cannot exploit the information resources available in English. To help them to stand in the contemporary world and build confidence in them so that they can at least communicate with rest of the world the Department has designed a bridge course in English. It has been designed to acquaint the students with applied English grammar and give them training to read, write and speak English fluently. The diploma is of six months duration and carries 24 credits. The course structure is as follows:

 

SE 1: Applied English Grammar I

SE 2: Applied English Grammar-II

SE 3: Selected English Readings 1

SE 4: Selected English Readings-II

SE 5: Oral Expression in English

SE 6: Composition and Précis writing
