Arabic Courses for Business in Northamptonshire

Both professionals and non-professionals alike have seen great benefits from a SIMON & SIMON Arabic Language Course. SIMON & SIMON’s team of qualified Arabic teachers is made up of native speakers who average 15 years of experience. These teachers will make sure that a course is tailored for your specific needs so that you will benefit regardless of your language proficiency. Feedback from clients on our Arabic tutors is consistently highly positive. Our students are sent a profile containing information on their specific teacher’s experience and background before the start of their Arabic Lessons.

New teaching approaches have revolutionised how modern language training is now approached. This training, with more fun and a more worthwhile experience means that it’s a far cry from what you may remember of studying languages in school. When you start a Arabic course in Northamptonshire, you will make progress from the very first lesson, as almost everything will be done in Arabic. This is known as the Communicative Approach, and means that your confidence and ability will soon grow so that you can use Arabic to communicate in social and business settings.

Our Arabic language courses are available on both a 1:1 and group basis, but the majority of our clients offer 1:1 Arabic training to their employees. However, with careful planning, group training can offer great value for money, provided there is a real commitment from the participants to get together at the same time every week. We strongly recommend you keep group numbers to 6 or less for these types of courses to be successful. Those learning Arabic in at Northamptonshire on a 1:1 basis will naturally make much faster progress, as the course will be designed around their individual needs and focus on their particular strengths and weaknesses.

Arabic Course Management

Every SIMON & SIMON Arabic language course is overseen by one of our highly experienced Account Managers, all of whom are multi-lingual. At the start of your Arabic language course we will send you a profile on your trainer, followed by a Course Plan and relevant course materials, and then a Progress Report after every 40 hours of training. You will also receive a copy of our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, featuring a superb prize draw and invaluable weblinks to language learning sources.

We have a global network of language trainers so our Arabic language courses can be arranged for almost any major European city, or even further abroad. SIMON & SIMON have run Arabic language courses for clients in many diverse locations. Arabic language courses can be run in your home for your convenience, but many of our clients prefer to run them in their offices so as to minimise travel. For a list of the locations of the full-time residential Arabic language courses that we offer, contact our office.

Northamptonshire Arabic Course Schedules

Our Arabic language courses in Northamptonshire take place throughout the year. Many of our students try to attend more than one weekly lesson if work commitments allow, and most will attend at least one session of 90-minutes duration per week. If you would like a Weekend Course, one can be arranged. Our Arabic daytime courses run from 8am through to 8pm, Monday - Friday. We also provide Intensive Arabic language courses on clients’ premises or in residential centres both in the UK and abroad. These courses run for 30 hours of the week, 6 hours a day from Monday to Friday.

The Arabic language course that you undertake will be customised for your Arabic level and personal goals. Before you start the course, we will speak to you about your desired focus and assess you Arabic level. You may have little or no experience of Arabic and only want basic conversational skills or you may be more proficient and desire more fluency with which to discuss business. You may want to raise your Arabic skills for use in meetings and negotiations or rather develop increased comprehension and pronunciation skills. Whatever your objectives, our Arabic language trainers are highly experienced, and you can be confident that your personalised Arabic course will help you to meet your goals quickly.

Arabic Language Examination Courses

SIMON & SIMON also assists in preparation for Arabic examinations, whether for business or personal qualification. We believe that our 95% pass rate for language examinations is a reflection of our policy of working with Arabic teachers in Northamptonshire who possess above average experience. Registration for and administration of Arabic examinations, along with the issuing of results certificates are all provided by SIMON & SIMON.

The table below is based on recognised language levels used by various academic institutions accross the European Union. A highly motivated student attending weekly sessions with their language trainer can expect to move from one level to another after 50 hours providing they also commit to a similar number of hours of self-study.

Of course, some people find learning languages easier than others, and some students will have more opportunities to practise the language in the course of their work and leisure, so these factors also need to be considered when trying to assess how long it will take to move from one level to another.

Arabic is a Central Semitic language, thus related to and classified alongside other Semitic languages such as Hebrew and the Neo-Aramaic languages. Arabic has more speakers than any other language in the Semitic language family. It is spoken by more than 280 million people as a first language, most of whom live in the Middle East and North Africa. It is the official language of 22 countries and it is the liturgical language of Islam since it is the language of the Quran, the Islamic Holy Book. Arabic has many different, geographically distributed spoken varieties, some of which are mutually unintelligible. Modern Standard Arabic (sometimes called Literary Arabic) is widely taught in schools, universities, and used in workplaces, government and the media.
