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.
