ARAB 102 Foundational Arabic II
In order to expand their ability to communicate at the second foundational level, learners apply four language skills - listening, speaking, writing, and reading - by exchanging, interpreting, and presenting information in multiple tenses and contexts. Learners deepen the comparisons of Arabic-speaking cultures, practices, perspectives, and artifacts to learners' own cultures; connect the Arabic language to other relevant disciplines; and expand their use of the Arabic language outside of the classroom in a variety of contexts. Content and supporting language structures and vocabulary will be theme-based, with outcomes measured in a variety of ways, including task-based activities that support effective communication around the theme.
