Social Sciences Course - Arabic Language-Sociology
This course offers an interdisciplinary approach to exploring social sciences, philosophy and Arabic language learning. It aims to provide learners with a deep understanding of the fundamental concepts of social sciences, to develop critical thinking skills in philosophy. In social sciences, we will analyze social dynamics, institutions and social phenomena, such as mental health, education, family and inequality. Students will study classical and contemporary sociological theories while developing a critical understanding of the structures that govern society. Philosophy, for its part, will encourage an exploration of major ethical, existential and metaphysical questions, with an emphasis on reflection and logical reasoning. Students will be invited to question the concepts of justice, truth and freedom, and to connect these notions to contemporary issues. In parallel, learning the Arabic language will be aimed at non-native speakers wishing to develop their oral and written communication skills. The course will offer an immersion in the basics of grammar, vocabulary and cultural expressions, allowing students to express themselves in Arabic in various contexts. This course offers an enriching experience for those who wish to combine intellectual reflection and the acquisition of language skills in an intercultural setting.

David
Economic and social sciences (First and final year)
The teaching of economic and social sciences is common and compulsory for all second year students at a rate of 1h30 per week. In general, the SES becomes a specialty education from the 1st year, which may or may not be retained in the final year. Being young and a graduate of the economic and social BAC, I think I have the qualities required to teach this fascinating subject to those who encounter difficulties by easily explaining to them the different notions of the subject without the student feeling overloaded with work.
