Levantine Arabic VI is the second part of a four-part intermediate course sequence in Levantine Arabic offered through the Five College Center for World Languages. The course format includes intensive independent study, small group conversation sessions led by a peer conversation partner, and an evaluation by an outside evaluator. Students studying colloquial Levantine Arabic develop speaking and listening skills needed for study abroad in the Levant and engagement with Levantine Arabic-speaking communities, and to support course work in Middle Eastern Studies and other academic, vocational, and personal goals.
The ability to read and write in Arabic and basic speaking ability in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) or a spoken Arabic dialect is a prerequisite for all Center Arabic courses. See our spoken Arabic page for details: https://www.fivecolleges.edu/languages-silp#spoken-arabic-courses
Students must apply to add this course. Contact the Five College Center for World Languages at fivecolleges.edu/languages.
Prerequisite: Levantine Arabic V or equivalent.
