Course Description:
This class will focus exclusively on Modern Standard Arabic. It tends to enable students
to attain an advanced level of proficiency in all Arabic language skills. Students will
refine and expand their knowledge of grammar and sentence structures. They will
continue to listen to recorded texts, reading written productions of these texts, learning
specific basic vocabulary and building up an additional vocabulary repertoire. Basic
grammatical rules related to nouns, verbs and particles will be learned, not as an end in
themselves, but as a necessary tool to understanding how the language works.
By the end of this course, students will be able to acquire the conversational skills that
will allow them to communicate clearly within a wider range of competencies and
strategies this course is providing.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES:
Success in learning Arabic, as with any language, depends to a large extent on continuous
study and practice.

Semester Assignments:
Online assignments:

In addition to homework assigned in class by your professor, practice using the
Companion Website is your daily assignment.
The Companion Website should be understood as your workbook assignments,
which primary purpose it to further reinforce and review the material studied in
class.
Your instructor will check your Companion Website for grades and participation.
Online assignments must be completed prior to coming to class.
In order to complete these assignments, you will have to read the
corresponding material in the textbook ,which is always contained on the same
pages as the assignments.
Practice on the Companion Website must be completed by the due dates assigned

the Companion Website are graded, but you have an unlimited number of attempts
to complete most assignments. Once a chapter has been completed and grades

Language Lab. You have access to the language laboratories LL61 or LL65 to
complete your online assignments in case you do not have your own computer.

In-class Oral participation: Class attendance and participation are especially important.
This is because I will be explaining materials that are not available in the textbook or the
DVDs. I encourage you to plan to be engaged. That is, in speaking, in participating in
small group activities, in volunteering even if you are not sure of your abilities.
Homework: Unless otherwise stated, all homework assignments will be due immediately
at the following date of assignment. It is expected that students will be diligent about
turning homework in on time. Most homework assignments are online. All homework
will be graded. Any homework that is not satisfactory should be redone and resubmitted,
in order to have a better grade.
