Description
The course aims to help the students learn to pronounce the sounds of Arabic and write its letters, and to begin speaking Arabic. It will introduce the essential symbols that makes up the Arabic Writing system. The course will help the students master over two hundred words of basic vocabulary, including important expressions for polite interaction with speakers of Arabic. The students will be given ample opportunities to practice and produce both the alphabet and the sound system; they will start developing their own vocabulary via specific structures presented in the textbook. The students will learn simple grammatical structures and gradually listen to authentic and instructional materials that come with the book. Most of the exercises and the activities are task-based and student-centered.
