Course title: Comparative Constructions 1
Course number and code: 116 LANE
Previous course requirement: NONE Language of the course: ENGLISH
Course level: THREE Effective hours: 2 Hours
Course description : المقرر وصف
The course is at the intersection of grammar, writing, and translating, seeking to enable the beginning students of the department to move smoothly between English and Arabic and between Arabic and English. As such, the course is an occasion for students to put side by side grammatically well-formed sentences in both languages. To do so, the course gives hands-on general practice in comparing, contrasting, formulating, and translating Arabic and English constructions on grammatical principles. In particular, the course focuses on constructions including open-ended parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) and their close-ended counterparts (determiners, prepositions), and grammatical categories such as tense, aspect, modality, etc.
Course objectives المقرر أهداف
Comparing and contrasting Arabic and English constructions on grammatical principles;
Formulating in Arabic and English constructions including open-ended and closed-ended parts of speech;
Translating Arabic and English constructions, paying special attention to grammaticality and idiomaticity in each language;
Giving the foundation for students to pursue specialized translation courses in subsequent levels.

Learning outcomes (understanding, knowledge, and intellectual and scientific skills) After studying this course, the student is expected to be able to:
Discriminate between Arabic and English commons constructions;
Grasp the similarities and differences between Arabic and English constructions;
Demonstrate skill in overcoming the word-for-word approach to finding equivalent English sentences for Arabic ones and vice versa;
Translate sentences English sentences from Arabic into English and vice versa for general and practical purposes.

Course title: Dictionary Skills Course number and code:115 LANE
Previous course requirement: NONE Language of the course: English
Course level: THREE Effective hours: 2 Hours
Course description : وصف المقرر
The course aims to introduce students to
the importance of the dictionary and tries
to develop their abilities to use it
efficiently, particularly as regards looking
up vocabulary spelling, pronunciation,
meaning, origin and derivatives, in
addition to a number of other issues.
Course objectives أهداف المقرر
The course aims at introducing learners to
different types of dictionaries, thesauri and
a brief coverage of their history. Using a
good dictionary and thesaurus will
significantly contribute to increasing the
students’ vocabulary and will consolidate
the grammatical rules in their minds. It
will also enhance their idiomatic use of a
foreign language since such vocabulary is
used in contexts actually or can be
potentially used in natural standard
English. This will also reflect positively
on their ability to prepare requested
homework, and to handle translation
problems by comparing the different
lexical and idiomatic uses of two different
languages.
Learning outcomes (understanding, knowledge, and intellectual and scientific
skills)
After studying this course, the student is expected to be able to:
- use both paper and electronic
dictionaries to look up vocabulary items,
spelling, meaning, pronunciation, and
idioms.
- learn word pronunciation, stress,
spelling, class, and meaning.
- compare lexical and idiomatic uses
when using a bilingual or specialized
dictionary.

Course level: THREE Effective hours: 3 credit hours
Course description : وصف المقرر
This course is taught by focusing on
providing students with knowledge of the basic structures of English in contexts reflected in the materials they study. Teaching verb structures as reflected in tenses are focused on since one of the objectives of the course is to enable students to use English correctly (making clear and appropriate time reference to the past, present and future). The course also covers nouns, definite and indefinite articles, pronouns, adjectives and adverbs. The student is trained to identify simple sentences, simple sentence types. He is also taught their uses and their forms in the affirmative, negative, interrogative, and imperative. The course is expected to contribute to students’ accuracy in speaking and writing. It also aims at helping students read and listen without experiencing many grammatical difficulties that may stand as a major obstacle to processing meaning.
Exercises and drills allow teachers to
make sure that students have properly
assimilated the points discussed and
practiced in class.
Course objectives أهداف المقرر
- To train students on techniques of
sentence combining in order to produce
coherent structures on the paragraph
level.
- To enable learners to produce topic
sentences followed by other sentences
that are viewed as details of that general
topic ( sentences that relate the topic to
the other ideas found in the text).
- To understand how punctuation can be
used effectively to mark chunks of
meanings.
- To understand that tenses should not
clash in writing coherent sentences.
- To combine sentences observing the
cohesive choices available at the
paragraph level
Learning outcomes (understanding, knowledge, and intellectual and scientific
skills)
After studying this course, the student is expected to be able to:
- Understand the concept of the topic
sentence and be able to produce it on the
paragraph level.
- Relate the topic to the other ideas( the
supporting sentences) found at the

compound sentences using sentence
combining techniques.
- avoid sentence fragments and sentence
run-ons.

Course description : وصف المقرر
This course is designed to develop the
students’ listening abilities, to
assimilate meaning fast, and to
comprehend a maximum number of
sentences and vocabulary items used in
natural contexts by native speakers of
the language on audio and video
recorded materials. The course,
therefore, attempts to get used to the
ways native speakers pronounce and
enunciate language units from the level
of speech sounds to the level of whole
essays or extended texts (e.g. topics
including school life in different
countries, nature and environment,
ways of life in different societies,
activities at home, cultures and
civilizations of the world, health, and
science and technology). Thus, the
course helps to develop the skills
relevant to listening, concentration on
and the fast-processing of information,
which are all important linguistic skills
necessary in learning languages.
