This course is designed for students with no previous knowledge, or very limited knowledge of the Arabic language. Arabic 101 will be divided in two parts. The first part focuses on learning the script, sound and writing systems in Arabic based on the Alif Baa book. The second part of the course introduces the text Al-Kitaab fi Ta'allum al'Arabiyya: A Textbook for Beginning Arabic, Part One. Building upon the skills gained in the first part of the course, we will focus on developing the four communication skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). We will also immerse ourselves in Arabic language and culture through various activities.
