ARA 550 Advanced Arabic I
3 Credits
The main goal set at this stage is to reach a superior
level of proficiency in modern standard Arabic language.
The materials are designed to strenghten students’
reading skills, increase their vocabulary, refine and
expand their knowledge of sentence construction
and the Arabic verb system, and widen their cultural
background. Lessons are structured as follows: beginning
with vocabulary acquisition, followed by a humanities
related basic text (if needed the latter is preceded
by background information and exercises), grammatical
explanations and drills, additional reading texts,
review drills and suggested speaking and writing
activities. Learners should have done at least two years of
Arabic prior to starting with the course. According to
the CEF, the level would be the equivalent of Level B1All
the texts use clear language, useful vocabulary and
appropriate grammar suited to this level. This ensures
that the course remains sufficiently demanding to
take the learner to the next level.
