Master the Art of Conversation and Cultural Insight in Arabic: Elevate your Arabic skills to an advanced level through spontaneous spoken conversations on everyday topics like food, weather, and personal stories, both past and present. You’ll deepen your fluency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and spoken dialects of Levant, Egypt, and North Africa in this yearlong course. Plus, you’ll bring Arabic culture to life by designing your own projects, creating a restaurant menu in Arabic, designing an animated cartoon in Arabic, analyzing Arabic TV commercials, reading children’s stories, exploring Arabic music, films, and more.
Why Take This Course? Whether for travel, future careers, or personal growth, this course will prepare you to connect with the Arabic-speaking world confidently and meaningfully, through a blend of highly interactive activities and rich cultural exploration.
Prerequisite: Arabic Language Through Culture I and II or permission from the instructor. Students in Arabic III have demonstrated intermediate interpersonal proficiency in Arabic (MSA or a dialect) and have demonstrated an ability to work online independently and reliably with instructors and peers in Arabic Language Through Culture or another GOA class.
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).
