Intermediate Arabic Two for International Relations

Catalog description

International Relations 212 (Arabic Conversation in International Relations IV) will serve as the continuation of the educational program Arabic in Conversation in International Relations, extending knowledge and experience gained for beginning students in first three semesters of Arabic in International Relations. Entrance into this course will require the successful completion of third semester Arabic for IR and, as such, will begin with an assumed student mastery of certain concepts in written and spoken Arabic covered in detail in previous semesters. IR 212 will then extend this knowledge, pushing students in their language production to increasingly complex forms of expression with increasingly developed scenarios in conversation and in-class role plays. By the end of IR 212, students will be approaching basic conversational fluency in Arabic to include fluid comprehension of both the written and spoken word.
