Arabic Language and Heritage 1

Catalog description

This course is the first in a series of courses meant for students who come from Arabic-speaking families and who grew up in an Arabic-speaking environment but have not had sufficient training in Arabic. These courses are designed to help those students master formal Arabic language skills and empower them, as citizens, to become more engaged in their society, culture, and heritage. The series achieves this goal by reactivating the students’ acquired but dormant knowledge of their native tongue even as it provides new accessible and relevant instruction in the language.
