The course offers intensive training in conversational skills and aims to enhance students’ oral proficiency from intermediate-mid to advanced-mid level based on ACTFL standards. We will use the communicative integrated approach which integrates the two Arabic varieties: Modern Standard Arabic and educated spoken Arabic. Students will practice conversational skills through daily briefings, discussions and oral presentations. Students will build vocabulary through a source textbook. Supplementary audiovisual materials and the Internet will deepen students’ understanding of both language and culture.
