ARAB 104 Intermediate Modern Standard Arabic II
The second semester of the second-year Modern Standard Arabic course is open to students who have successfully completed ARAB 103 (three semesters of Arabic or the equivalent exposure). Students will begin Al-Kitaab Part 2 to continue acquiring vocabulary and usage for everyday interactions. They will also learn more skills enabling them to read and analyze a wider range of texts, including news articles and longer narrations in the past, present and future tenses. In addition to the traditional textbook exercises in Al-Kitaab Part 2, students will write short essays,
deliver presentations, and participate in role plays, dialogues, and other interactive activities throughout the semester. Through more 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.
