ARAB 102 - ELEMENTARY ARABIC II

This course is a second semester course for students who have already been introduced to the Arabic script and basic grammatical structure, for at least 40 class hours. The course teaches Stan- dard Arabic, which makes understanding various dialects easier with time and practice. It adopts a multi-level methodology that emphasizes the four comprehensive skills required for learning a foreign language: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Each class session covers basic grammatical, structural and communicative aspects of the language (further types of verb categories, longer sentence structures, further roles of prepositions, short texts of particular themes and situations, etc.).

Pre-requisites: ARAB 101 or placement test.
