ARAB 101 — Foundational Arabic I
In order to acquire and develop their ability to communicate at the foundational level, students apply language skills in interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational modes in everyday contexts. Students deepen the comparisons of Arabic-speaking cultures, practices, perspectives, and artifacts to students’ own cultures; connect the Arabic language to other relevant disciplines; and expand their use of the Arabic language outside of the classroom in a variety of contexts. Content and supporting language structures and vocabulary will be theme-based, with outcomes measured in a variety of ways, including task-based activities that support effective communication around a theme.
