In this course, we will focus on the different roles women had during the uprisings of the Arab Spring and what developped out of their engagement. Did women's role in society change and if yes, how? The focus will be on TV reports and interviews, but written media will be used as well. The intensive work with the materials will, therefore, significantly improve your listening comprehension skills of Modern Standard Arabic. Discussions in class will develop your oral fluency, expand your lexical repertoire and bring your passive vocabulary to regular use.

| Technical Issues | Students need internet access, a headset and a Skype account. In class, Cliqmeet, a webinar browser based software will be used (does not need any installation). We will check in a personal online meeting, whether the connection is working and give you a short introduction into the programs. Technical problems showing up during the courses that prevent a student from attending the class are his/her own responsibility. Missed classes will, therefore, not be substituted. However, if a general technical problem prevents everyone from participating, the class will be substituted (normally added at the end of the semester). | |
