It is an integrated course which will help students gain higher basic proficiency in the four skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), grammar, vocabulary (including the Arabic alphabet), for personal interaction and communication in authentic situations.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n| Units<\/th>\r\n | Workload<\/th>\r\n | Pre-requisite<\/th>\r\n | Preclusion<\/th>\r\n | Cross-listing(s)<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n | \r\n| 4<\/td>\r\n | 4-0-0-3-3<\/td>\r\n | LAR1201 or passed placement test<\/td>\r\n | Nil<\/td>\r\n | Nil<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n <\/p>\r\n LAR3201 Arabic 3<\/h4>\r\nArabic 3 is a continuation of Arabic 2. Its focus is to improve upon the students’ ability to interact in the language, augment their active vocabulary, and build upon their structural knowledge. An inductive\/communicative approach is employed with all skills; the students are given real-life situations so that they can put into practice their acquired vocabulary and newly learnt grammar points. Also, students are exposed to a good amount of comprehensible input, such as real conversations between native speakers, audios of newscasts, and part of movies. They are also asked to write short compositions using newly taught structures and vocabulary.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n| Units<\/th>\r\n | Workload<\/th>\r\n | Pre-requisite<\/th>\r\n | Preclusion<\/th>\r\n | Cross-listing(s)<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n | \r\n| 4<\/td>\r\n | 4-0-0-3-3<\/td>\r\n | LAR2201 or passed placement test<\/td>\r\n | Nil<\/td>\r\n | Nil<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n <\/p>\r\n LAR3202 Arabic 4<\/h4>\r\nArabic 4 is a continuation of Arabic 3. In this course, all skills of the language are equally dealt with. Further emphasis is placed on students’ ability to communicate more fluently. More authentic language situations are brought into the classroom and used as language models. Students are asked to personalize these situations, putting into practice newly acquired vocabulary and structures. To consolidate the students’ learning of new vocabulary and structures, they are asked to write compositions on a variety of topics in a way that match their linguistic ability.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n| Units<\/th>\r\n | Workload<\/th>\r\n | Pre-requisite<\/th>\r\n | Preclusion<\/th>\r\n | Cross-listing(s)<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n | \r\n| 4<\/td>\r\n | 4-0-0-3-3<\/td>\r\n | LAR3201 or passed placement test<\/td>\r\n | Nil<\/td>\r\n | Nil<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n <\/p>\r\n LAR4201 Arabic 5<\/h4>\r\nLAR4201 is an advanced course and a continuation of LAR3202 Arabic 4. In this course, students will achieve better oral fluency, considerable ability in listening and reading comprehension, and better writing proficiency. Oral activities in form of group work, pair work, role plays and presentations will be conducted regularly in both lectures and tutorials. Students will listen to authentic listening comprehension materials, such as lectures, newscasts and talk shows. In addition to readings on a variety of topics the students will read stories. Using the vocabulary learned in lectures and tutorials, students will write compositions on different topics.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n| Units<\/th>\r\n | Workload<\/th>\r\n | Pre-requisite<\/th>\r\n | Preclusion<\/th>\r\n | Cross-listing(s)<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n | \r\n| 4<\/td>\r\n | 4-0-0-3-3<\/td>\r\n | LAR3202 or passed placement test<\/td>\r\n | Nil<\/td>\r\n | Nil<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n <\/p>\r\n LAR4202 Arabic 6<\/h4>\r\nLAR4202 Arabic 6 is an upper advanced Arabic course and a continuation of LAR4201 Arabic 5. It is intended to make students proficient language users. The students will be better in their speaking skill through group discussions, pair work and oral presentations. They will listen to advanced listening comprehension materials such as newscasts, talk shows and movies. In addition to the textbook readings, students will read stories and newspaper articles. They will learn to write new types of essays such as descriptive, narrative and argumentative ones, using more selective language and complex structures. Higher level word-formation processes and sentence structures will be taught.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n| Units<\/th>\r\n | Workload<\/th>\r\n | Pre-requisite<\/th>\r\n | Preclusion<\/th>\r\n | Cross-listing(s)<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n | \r\n| 4<\/td>\r\n | 4-0-0-3-3<\/td>\r\n | LAR4201 or passed placement test<\/td>\r\n | Nil<\/td>\r\n | Nil<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n <\/p>\r\n * Workload: A-B-C-D-E
