the form of Arabic shared by all Arab countries. Classroom time is devoted to
conversation (skits and discussions) and grammar exercises (including
skim-reading tasks, spiraling and inference, analogy, problem solving, and
educated guessing), stemming from the DVDs and other materials. The course will
continue to introduce students to some Egyptian colloquial. Consistent emphasis
is placed on authentic resources that derive from the most updated cultural
contexts, realities and creative work of the Arab world. Students are expected
to devote adequate time for homework, meet with a tutor every week to help them
with homework and attend a session of Spoken Arabic. Class
