URGENT ISSUES

  • Rubric for assessment of language skills (criteria based) for standardization and transparency
  • Better designed placement tests
  • Serious academic stress on ‘intercultural competency’:
  • requires coordination of the contents of all Arabic based courses and basic Arabic language courses (for a start )
