ARAB3813

This course is designed for students of Arabic who have taken minimum two semesters of Modern Standard Arabic (ARAB 1101 & 1102), or the equivalent thereof as determined by a placement test. The course provides training in the fundamentals of Jordanian and Palestinian spoken Arabic, which is widely understood all over the Arab world, and is also very similar to the Arabic spoken in Syria and Lebanon. This course specifically revolves around the development of your speaking, listening and transcultural skills. It will provide you with many opportunities to speak, watch, and listen to Jordanian Arabic and to learn about the cultures and societies of the Levant. The course aims to increase your ability to successfully navigate the variety of Arabic language registers, and to substantially improve your cultural competence.
This course is open to non-native speakers and non-heritage learners of Arabic only. As a 3-credit course, it cannot be taken in lieu of ARAB 3101 or ARAB 3102 to fulfill the CLA second language requirement. It can, however, be taken concurrently with these classes.
