Arabic II

The course consists of three modules. The module Language Proficiency 2 builds on the skills acquired in module Language Proficiency 1. During the course, students read texts with an increasing degree of difficulty and at the seminars, they discuss grammar, content and the structure of texts. Students use the vocabulary orally in role play and discussion. They complete written assignments and listening comprehension exercises that connect with every text. The third module, Introduction to the Arabic Language, is independent of the other two and requires that students read about the development of Arabic and the differences and similarities between Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and the various dialects.
