INTERMEDIATE ARABIC II

PREREQUISITE: MLAR2001, GRADE OF C- OR BETTER
This course is designed to provide maximum opportunties for students to develop functional listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in beginning Arabic. The goal of this course is the acquisition of a useful, communicative command of the language at the Novice-Mid level on the national scale, as established by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) and the Educational Testing Service (ETS). This goal will be realized through maximum exposure to authentic target language input (oral and visual), active oral and written practice of real-life language tasks or functions (conversing with an exchange student, completing forms, etc.) and exploration of cultural subtleties conveyed by language, thought and customs.
