IGCSE : Arabic - Foreign Language (BES) (0527)

This syllabus is only available to Centers taking part in the Board Examination Systems (BES) Pilot. This syllabus is designed for learners who are learning Arabic as a foreign language. The aim is to develop an ability to use the language effectively for purposes of practical communication. The course is based on the linked language skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing, and these are built on as learners progress through their studies. The syllabus also aims to offer insights into the culture and civilisation of countries where Arabic is spoken, thus encouraging positive attitudes towards language learning and towards speakers of foreign languages.
