This course enables you to become more proficient in speaking and understanding Arabic in a greater variety of situations and to be further aware of the Arabic speaking cultures. You will learn to read and write more complex structures of the Arabic language. You will also learn to read and write without recourse to translations. You will have more knowledge of the different Arabic dialects and idioms. In keeping with the National Standards for Foreign Language education, culture (music, art, gastronomy, social mores, and others) is embedded in this language course. This is reflected in our written and oral assessments.
