Studies; Middle Eastern Studies This course is a
continuation of Arabic 101. Students are further trained through the use of the
most current pedagogical developments of communicative, visual and narrative
methods developed by primarily al-Kitaab fii Ta` allum al- `Arabiyya.
Students will continue to enlarge their speaking, reading, writing and
comprehension skills in Modern Standard Arabic, 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 size: 22
