This course (or its equivalent) is a prerequisite to Arabic III at GOA.
Expand Your Conversation and Perspective: Ready to take your Arabic skills further? Building on your Arabic foundation, this yearlong course guides you into more complex reading and speaking, allowing you to tell stories and even write full paragraphs in Arabic. Focusing on Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and spoken dialects of Levant, Egypt, and North Africa, you’ll immerse yourself in even more real-life conversations and interactive group projects that cover new cultural topics such as ordering food, discussing travel and the weather, and sharing your goals for the future.
Why Take This Course? This course is your next step toward fluency and a deeper understanding of Arabic-speaking cultures. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to tell stories, describe the world around you, and hold meaningful conversations—connecting with peers from around the world.
Prerequisite: Arabic Language Through Culture I or permission from the instructor. Arabic II students have demonstrated novice proficiency where they are able to communicate in spontaneous spoken conversations on familiar topics, including food, weather, and hobbies, using a variety of practiced or memorized words, phrases, simple sentences, and questions.
Students in GOA courses will need reliable access to a computer with webcam/microphone connections, an email address (preferably school-based), a Web-conferencing app (GOA courses use Zoom), and a Word processing app (GOA courses use Google’s G Suite). When necessary, alternative arrangements may be made. Some courses require additional materials which can be found here.
