These courses take a communicative approach to the fundamentals of the Arabic language, with emphasis on listening comprehension, speaking, and developing mastery of the Arabic writing system. Students will engage in basic reading and writing of simple sentences and short paragraphs. The course stresses communication using both formal and informal Arabic, designed to enable students to communicate in Arabic in everyday situations. Students will also explore Arabic speaking countries and their inherent cultural differences to develop students’ awareness of the global challenges experienced in these countries and an appreciation of their contributions to the world at large. Both courses are designed for students with little or no previous experience in the language.
