Course Catalog Description:: This course is designed for students of Arabic who have taken minimum two semesters of Modern Standard Arabic (ARAB 1101 & 1102), or the equivalent thereof as determined by a placement test. The course provides training in the fundamentals of the spoken Arabic of the Arabian Peninsula region. You will learn how to participate with ease and confidence in informal conversations in Gulf Colloquial Arabic around topics in the domestic and informal sphere, as well as some general interest topics of communal/regional relevance. You will engage with a wide variety of authentic popular culture materials from the region, and will explore a variety of cultural practices prevalent in the Arabian Peninsula region, thereby substantially improving your intercultural competence. This course is open to non-native speakers and non-heritage learners of Arabic only. As a 3-credit course, it cannot be taken in lieu of ARAB 3101 or ARAB 3102 to fulfill the CLA second language requirement. It can, however, be taken concurrently with these classes.
