Objectives
The main objective of this course is to give students an introduction to the basic syntax and
morphology of the Arabic language so that they can study the language at an advanced level
on their own. At the end of the course students will be in a position to understand simple
Arabic sentences and decipher the meaning of complex sentences to some extent with the
help of a dictionary. Although the main stress shall be on explaining the sentence structure, it
is expected that some use of Situational Language Teaching (SLT) and communication will
also give the students a limited ability to read Arabic texts and communicate in that language.
The following topics will be covered in the course:

HR‐213  Citizenship Education (Human Rights)  3  IV 
Year  Discipline 
2  English 

This particular course deals with good citizenship values and human rights components.
Although the course does not strictly or necessarily fall under the category of English
curriculum and syllabi, the contents/ topics designed for this course must be studied and used
by the teachers of English language and literature to offer a comparative study with the
textbooks they use for their classes. Whether the teachers pick on the UN HR charter or they
use the last address of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for such
comparative analysis the major aims of the course should be as described below.

Aims:
The major aims of this course should be to:
• Promote human values, in particular religious tolerance for others
• Promote HR, in particular those of the minorities and ethnic groups
• Develop a cross-cultural understanding, to recognize the value of difference
• Introduce the concept of good neighborhood and global citizenship, to accept socio-
cultural harmony
• Relate human progress through a sense of diversity

Contents:
Preferably, as required by the various universities and their interdisciplinary programs,
however as a suggestion the following topics are considered relevant in our context:
• What are Human Rights (HR)?
• Evolution of the Concept of HR
• Four Fundamentals in HR: freedom, equality, justice, and human dignity
• Universal Declaration of HR
• Three Key Principles in HR: inalienability, indivisibility and universality
• Are HR Universal? (debate/ discussion etc)
• HR in South Asia: Issues
• Rights of Women
• Rights of Children (debate/ discussion on child labor, etc)
