About This Course
The course aims to provide Arabic modules for specific purpose s: Hajj and Umrah users, considering the great potential of Indo nesians who go to Makkah and Madinah in Saudi Arabia to perf orm either Hajj or Umrah. Given the significant increase in the number of pilgrims, basic Arabic for communication is essential . We initiate asynchronous teaching (self-paced MOOC) by opti mizing learning videos. Nevertheless, students are still encourag ed to participate actively in the modules by doing homework rel ated to the substances. The homework itself plays as our assess ment of the program’s success.
