Learning Arabic is about more than just mastering the language.
It's also about developing cultural and intercultural competencies,
both inside and outside the classroom.
That's why we are excited to introduce our new online portfolio blog
for our Arabic Language Programme,
Arabic Chronicles, Discovering Arabic Language and Culture.
The blog gives our students a platform to document their learning journey
and share their experiences and reflections with each other and with a broader audience.
The portfolio blog is designed to align with scholarship and teaching learning principles,
focusing on students' learning and sharing knowledge in a collegiate community.
Through the portfolio blog, our students can showcase their work
and achievements and explore different aspects of Arabic culture.
It's also a valuable resource for newcomers to our programme
who want to gain cultural knowledge and awareness.
We encourage our students to be active learners
and the portfolio blog gives them the opportunity to do just that.
They can contribute in a variety of ways,
through project submissions, personal reflections
and photos from cultural events.
And when their submissions are approved,
our students receive a certificate of participation that they can add to their CV
and directly link to their LinkedIn profile.
So we invite all of our students to participate in our online portfolio blog.
We'll have a call for submissions twice a year
and the review committee will choose the best entries to be published on the website.
And the best part is that the blog is open to submissions in English, Norwegian and Arabic,
so our students can share their experience in the languages they are most comfortable with.
Yalla! Join us on our online portfolio blog
and help us promote Arabic language and culture to the world.
