Academic Goals

The class builds upon the basic skills studied during the previous semester by focusing on the infamous awzan chart. Lessons will focus on learning how to identify ajthar, learning which wazan to use, and how to conjugate correctly in the correct wazan. This class will elevate students’ ability to express themselves orally and in writing. Upon completion of Arabic III, students should be able to engage in more sophisticated conversations on a range of everyday topics and express themselves with greater sophistication, confidence, and thorough understanding. Many “ah ha!” moments occur in this course, and you could be next! Students will be encouraged to listen to Arabic radio and television stations available on the internet. Each week, one student will make a presentation to the class, either a website or some other item of his/her own choosing. The class will take a mid-term around week six or seven, depending upon our progress. Handouts will facilitate all of the above mentioned. We will have a final on the last class.
