This course will focus on basic oral expression and listening comprehension of the Levantine dialect of Arabic, spoken in Israel/Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. In addition to its political importance, Levantine Arabic is the dominant dialect used in Arab television, film, and pan-Arab popular culture (along with Egyptian). Emphasis is on active communication (the written language will not be covered). No previous exposure to Arabic is required.
