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.

In this course, we will read selections from Arabic literary
journals, with a particular focus on the history of the poetry and prose of the
1950s and 1960s. Students will develop
their literary and critical vocabularies in Arabic, will refine their writing
and make it more idiomatic, and will be expected to present their work at the
end of the semester. We will use the
textbook The Connectors in Modern Standard Arabic.
