In the first year, the balance between the two languages/cultures is equal; thereafter, the balance can change to one-third/two-thirds in favor of one or the other. Native speakers will be involved in language teaching at all levels, and cultural understanding is an inherent part of language learning. Your studies are supported by the Language Center's multimedia facilities. Staff there can also put you in touch with students who are native speakers of your chosen language.

This carefully designed course supports your studies in the first two years and is supervised by a personal tutor. You can help focus on areas you find difficult and receive constructive personal feedback.

You will have the opportunity to acquire spoken language skills, experience the modern lifestyle there and promote your personal development. Students are eligible for financial support from the University of Manchester to cover tuition fees at Middle Eastern institutions.

Teaching methods include seminars, lectures, texts, guided independent study, conversation courses (native speakers) and language laboratory work. Group work is common. Language teaching focuses on the four skills of speaking, writing, reading and listening comprehension. Cultural teaching is part of all language teaching through the use of communicative techniques.
