Arabic as a Language of Intercultural Dialogue in the Mediterranean
Portorož, Slovenia: 1 – 6 March 2010 (5 ECTS)
Language is defined as a social institution, a cultural social experience and a world view; initially the members of a society use it to communicate their thoughts and feelings to one another. But considering the world changes, such a definition is inadequate, as language has to be the main tool for bridging between cultures. The course will therefore focus on language as a tool for intercultural dialogue and will introduce students with basic knowledge of spoken and written Arabic.
