(GB) (LA-AS) Satisfies Option 1. (CU-ITL)

Fall. 4 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: ARAB 3202.

M. Younes.

This course, taught entirely in Arabic, will focus on those aspects of Arabic grammar that are relevant for the correct reading and writing of Modern Standard Arabic such as the case and mood system (I’raab), the construct (IDaafa), the verb forms and their derivatives, different passive constructions, the number and gender systems, and different types of agreement. The readings will consist of a variety of texts (short stories, newspaper articles, poems, and biographies) which will be used as a basis for writing compositions.
