Expanded Course Description
ARB 201 - Builds upon the skills developed in the first year Arabic sequence and further develops the ability to produce and comprehend Arabic. Students will be asked to produce language through speaking and writing, and to receive it through listening and reading. A primary goal of the course is to improve the students¿ ability to communicate in Arabic. To this end, regular conversation and composition in Arabic as well as an intensive review of grammatical structures is provided. The students will be given the opportunity to refine their language skills through language use in everyday situations. Another focus of the course is on gaining familiarity with the culture and society in which Arabic is spoken. Students will engage with material from Arabic cultural and literary contexts. Throughout the course, students will read, listen to, and discuss various Arabic written texts and authentic spoken material, including dialogs, short narratives, and newspaper articles.

This course will create meaningful opportunities for students to engage actively in cultural and textual analysis through the language and cultural material presented as part of the curriculum. Proposed courses are broad in scope and liberal in nature in that Arabic language and culture will be approached through a variety of methods and world outlooks. For example, linguistic, cultural, textual, historical and geographical materials will be introduced, discussed and analyzed. Students will be encouraged to view topics discussed through non-US perspectives, such as those of the Middle East and Africa. The multiplicity of perspectives within these regions will also be highlighted.
