Description

Arabic III is the third semester of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). Building upon the proficiency of level II, students will focus on acquiring additional vocabulary with which to engage in daily conversations in order to be able to both speak and comprehend more complex sentences. Students will also learn to predict the meaning of unfamiliar words based on general principles of word formation, roots and context. Although conversational proficiency continues to be emphasized, students at this level also begin to improve their reading skills and use the dictionary with ease. Information about aspects of Arabic culture will enhance student understanding and use of the language.
