Learning outcomes
|
The course will focus on modern Arabic. As this is a semester-long course, the main objective is to enable students to read vocalized text and learn basic formal phrases (introductions, first contact at the airport, contact with authorities). In the second half of the semester, basic phraseology of the modern Egyptian dialect will be taught in a more systematic manner.
