This advanced intermediate level course builds on the skills of reading and reading comprehension, and the writing and speaking, of Modern Standard Arabic that were acquired in ARBC 504. Students continue to read Arabic newspapers, websites and other materials, and bring their findings to share in class discussions. An even greater emphasis than in lower levels of Arabic, are placed on acquiring and practicing the Egyptian dialect of Arabic in class conversations. Prereq: ARBC 504 or permission from the instructor.
