ARAB 103 Intermediate Modern Standard Arabic I
Second-year Arabic is open to students who have successfully completed one full year (two semesters of Elementary Arabic) or who have had an equivalent exposure to Modern Standard Arabic. Students will acquire more vocabulary and usage for everyday interactions, as well as skills that will allow them to read and analyze a wider range of texts in Arabic, including course schedules and travel itineraries. In addition to completing Al-Kitaab Part 1 and traditional textbook exercises,
students will write short essays, deliver presentations, and participate in role plays, dialogues, and other interactive activities throughout the semester. Through songs, videos, and films, students will become more familiar with the Damascene/Levantine colloquial, enhancing their ability to communicate with educated native speakers. ARAB 103/104 requires participation in three cultural
activities per semester. The course will meet four days a week.
