Arabic 2

In Arabic 2, learners strengthen previously acquired writing skills and use of the symbols of the Arabic language. In addition, they will build the following skills: 1) Tell a story or anecdote (oral and written) using complex sentences, 2) Describe themselves and others, including past activities and future plans, and 3) Speak extemporaneously to a topic studied during the course. Learners will be able to answer questions and maintain a conversation with a native speaker about basic topics such as their city, family, interests, studies, likes and dislikes, etc. Further, learners will be able to contrast and compare English and Arabic by translating sentences and short paragraphs. The successful Arabic 2 learner will produce language in audio recordings and in writing. Due to the cumulative nature of language studies, a minimum grade of 75% (C) in Arabic 1 is recommended.
