NOTE: Students who studied Arabic for three or more years in high school may not enroll in ARAB 101. |
| |
Designed to develop fundamental skill in both spoken and written Arabic. Since all linguistic skills cannot be fully developed in 101 alone, stress will be placed on the acquisition of basic grammatical structures, which it will be the function of 102 to develop and reinforce. Students who wish to acquire significant proficiency should therefore plan to take both 101 and 102 in sequence. Four hours of class work, plus one required drill hour per week. (Also listed under the African Studies concentration of the International Studies Program.) |

The course provides a window into Arab public spheres before and after the
Arab spring and illuminates how language and culture are interrelated in the
Arab Middle East. It explores the diversity of human experience by
examining various literary, cultural and political productions, and in
particular work by and about youth and women. Students will study a rich
tapestry of textual, visual, and oral materials including novels, poetry,
(social) media, blogs, music, films and graffiti art. Through these different
genres, students will explore themes such as postcolonial legacies, political
struggle and nationalism, Arab encounters with the West, and gender and the
quest for identity. Course conducted in English, and no prior knowledge of
Arabic is required. |

This course builds on grammatical concepts acquired in elementary and intermediate courses (101-302). It introduces alternative stylistic tools for oral, aural, and writing skills with a vigorous expansion of vocabulary related to contemporary Arab culture and daily events in the Middle East. We will focus on two key areas of Arabic grammar: the root and pattern system, and complex sentence structure. Students will gain knowledge of grammatical aspects such as active and passive participles, geminate verbs, passive voice, circumstantial clauses, and nouns of place and time (to name a few) and learn more on idafas, broken plurals and superlatives and comparative forms. We will read and discuss authentic texts (short stories, newspapers, and magazine articles) and view films and various news clips in Arabic. |
