Course Description:
Vocabulary 1 introduces students to word classes, sounds, pronunciation, and meaning in context. It concentrates on word formation, collocations, some phrasal verbs, and some basic functions and notions. It also draws attention to degrees of formality in language use. The course will also highlight the following:
- Pronunciation: silent letter, hidden consonants, double letters, spelling changes, words with the same vowel but different pronunciation and words with different vowels but same pronunciation, syllabication and stress.
- Spelling changes and spelling variants.
- Part of speech, count/non-count, singular & plural forms
- American vs. British usage
- Word synonyms and antonyms
- English and Arabic meanings
- Word formation: prefixes, suffixes, derivatives and compounds
- Idioms and collocations.

Important Note:
v Do NOT be absent for the in-term exams because there will not be any make up exams. If you have an extreme medical reason for being absent, you will need to present official verification from a government hospital of your medical situation, and then each individual case will be dealt with accordingly. If the leave is approved, the make-up exam will take place at the end of the semester, and will include ALL the chapters covered during the whole semester.
v If a student misses both in-terms, the make-up exam will cover the mark of ONE exam only (i.e. 25 marks only).
Note: This schedule is always subject to change.
