ARAB-406 Fourth Level Arabic A (4)

Offered through AU Abroad programs in Cairo and Rabat. This course is designed to move learners from a stage where they have achieved the basic grammatical skills, to being able to use language in a wider cultural context. The course addresses the main issues related to the Arab world and culture using a skill-based approach in which students gain mastery of the language through the use of authentic materials taken from various sources. Teaching techniques are student- centered, with the goal of teaching to make students independent users of Arabic. Encounters with Arab professionals and visits to relevant institutions are integrated in the course. Prerequisite: ARAB-303 or ARAB-307.
