Intermediate Arabic is a proficiency-oriented course with emphasis placed on the functional usage of Arabic and on communication using the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. A variety of authentic audio and video materials, as well as readings in the Qur’an, hadith, and other primary classical sources, are presented early in the course. An advanced level of vocabulary and grammar is introduced, including past tenses, subordinated conjunctions, introduction to passive voice, and morphology. There will be a heavy emphasis on accuracy in language production, both written and oral.
