The programme aims to introduce students to the basic elements of Arab culture and role of Islam in Middle East countries and enable students to grasp the very basics of the Arabic language including greetings and self-introduction, yet excluding the writing system. Besides, some core values and ethical concepts of Islam will be clarified, and students can raise their awareness of cultural differences between America/ western countries and Middle East countries in communication patterns.

Students are provided with brief geographical and historical background information of the Arab world, where the cultural varieties and regional differences are also touched upon. Through discussions and case studies, students will explore Islam, not only as a religion, but also as a way of life with reference to background information given at the beginning of the programme. Common misconception and stereotyping will also be highlighted with different perspectives considered. A site visit to the Kowloon Mosque will be organised to consolidate students’ learning.

This course is designed to cater for complete beginners of the Hebrew language, corresponding to the initial stage of the level “Aleph” (A1).

Why Hebrew?

  • Modern Hebrew is the language of Israel, one of the world’s fastest-growing high-tech economies;
  • Hebrew gives you firsthand access to early Jewish thoughts and literature, which play an influential role in history;
  • Learning Hebrew can deepen your understanding of the Old Testament and Christianity, which is the most widely practiced religion in the world;
  • Hebrew is to a large extent a phonetic language mostly based on a simple three-letter root system which can help you learn the word formation more easily.
