Advanced Arabic III

This is an advanced course in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). Instruction will provide students with extensive exposure to authentic texts in MSA (though texts in Egyptian and Levantine Arabic will also be used) with a higher level of elaboration and complexity, drawn from a wide range of subjects and sources, including newspapers, magazines, TV and radio broadcasts, and short stories. We will focus on enhancing learners' linguistic proficiency in all four language skills, introducing them to further cultural aspects of the Arab world, as well as engaging them in a variety of tasks so they can use MSA to write and talk about a wide range of issues of their interest. 3 hrs. lect/disc.
