Arabic for Communication IV

LAAR-40008

This class focuses on colloquial Egyptian Arabic and is designed to help students perform linguistic tasks successfully, gain self-confidence, and expand their risk-taking in real-life communicative situations. Students will develop their vocabulary and basic skills such as verb conjugation and will be exposed to increasingly complex grammatical constructs including some complex verbs and new patterns. This course also focuses on developing the ability to construct Arabic sentences and simple Arabic texts. Students will learn more about Arab culture by studying Arab authors, geography, habits, and social customs.
