WLAR 320
Arabic for Professional Purposes
Section: 001

Course Description

This course is designed for students who have completed at least two years of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). The course emphasizes the functional use of formal Arabic for professional purposes, with an emphasis on written and oral production. Students will receive training in practical skills, including writing emails, formal letters, questionnaires/surveys, and social media posts. In addition to improving Arabic speaking skills through oral presentations, interviews, and collaborative projects with native-speakers, students will build their Arabic writing skills through frequent written assignments that emphasize work-place vocabulary and the connectors (articles, phrases, or idioms) to help students understand and produce fluid, cohesive prose. Tailored activities will reinforce fundamental grammatical concepts and structures and help students build confidence using Arabic in academic and professional contexts, whether in person or online.
