In this showroom, our section presents research or teaching projects that are representative of who we are and what we do. The diversity of the projects reflects the broad spectrum of topics and perspectives of our section.
Teaching Projects
Language Classes
During the Arabic language lessons, the students actively work with the language both during the lesson and at home. The students make a vlog twice per semester about subjects that were taught during the lessons. In this way, the language is further embedded and the students receive individual feedback about possible points for improvement. Below we show a number of these videos that were made by our students in the bachelor.
Bachelor 1
A few weeks after the start of the first semester, students of the 1st Bachelor made a video in which they have an introductory conversation in Egyptian Arabic. They tell each other about their nationality, place of residence and marital status.
Bachelor 2
Students of 2nd bachelor made a promotional film for the city of Ghent in Egyptian Arabic. The contexts, vocabulary and grammar that we covered during the academic year served as a basis for this film.
Bachelor 3
Students from the 3rd year of their bachelor’s degree made a knowledge clip about a grammatical topic as a reminder for their fellow students.
In the 2nd bachelor we already learn Arabic grammar from the Arabic knowledge traditions and using Arabic grammatical terminology. In this way, students are prepared to use all the knowledge and tools they have acquired in the 3rd bachelor to effectively work with an Arabic grammar book.
For their knowledge clip, the 3rd year bachelor students start from the grammatical topics we covered during the first semester in the Arabic grammar book Mulakhkhaṣ Qawāʿid al-Lugha al-ʿArabīya by Fuʾād Niʿma.
