Arabic (8680 & 9680)

The Cambridge International AS & A Level syllabus in Arabic aims to:

• develop the ability to understand Arabic in a variety of registers
• enable students to communicate confidently and clearly in Arabic
• form a sound base of skills, language and attitudes required for further study, work and leisure
• develop insights into the culture and civilisation of the countries where Arabic is spoken, including the study of literary texts where appropriate (this does not apply to AS Language qualifications)
• encourage positive attitudes to language learning and a sympathetic approach to other cultures and civilisations
• support intellectual and personal development by promoting learning and social skills.
