Under the patronage of the Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Prof. Musa Rababa, and in the presence of several professors from the Department of Modern Languages, a number of students participated in the activities of the Goncourt competition (n°12) supported by the Agence Universitaire Francophone, which focuses on reading and critiquing eight novels written in French in 2022. Mr Loris Vivarly from the French Embassy and Ms Celina from the French Institute confirmed their willingness to support and encourage participating students, as the Goncourt competition is a unique experience for cultural and civilizational communication between students from different universities. Rababah stated that this activity represents the fruitful and constructive cooperation between the French Embassy and Yarmouk Faculty of Arts, calling on students to participate in such competitions for their impact on the refinement of language skills and the acquisition of human knowledge. Mamoun Alshtaiwi (the representative of the Francophone University Agency), said that the students got the selected novels from the French Embassy in Amman and that they will read them trying to rank such pieces according to the standards and criteria of modern literature, pointing out that more than 33 universities participate in this event every year. However, the meeting was attended by Professor Hussein Al-Ruhail, Head of the Modern Languages Department, and a number of faculty members and some students from the same department.
