Arabic
Objectives:
The Arabic classes are designed to introduce the student to core components and learning areas of the Arabic language, i.e. Grammar (Nahw), Morphology (Sarf), Reading with understanding and building on vocabulary. A step-by-step program facilitates the four basic skills of writing, reading, listening and speaking, though conversational skills are not emphasized as much as reading and vocabulary, so that ultimately the student will have the keys to navigate and negotiate classical religious texts with confidence.
Outcomes:
- Continue building skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing
- Continue building vocabulary
- In-depth Sarf & Nahw
- Understand theoretical Nahw and Sarf as well as applied Syntax and Morphology
