Class Details
This course will serve as an introduction to Egyptian colloquial Arabic. The Egyptian dialect is one of the most widely spoken and understood dialects across the Arab world; thus, students with little or no exposure to one of the Arabic vernaculars will find this a useful place to begin. The language will be taught by giving students a systematic understanding of the grammar and the syntax of the colloquial dialect through written materials. With this foundation, students will work to build and expand their lexicon through active participation in task-based conversations, listening comprehension activities as well as oral presentations. Excerpts from Egyptian television, radio, film, music and theater will serve to further deepen the students’ understanding of Egyptian culture. By employing real-life situations and drawing from contemporary sources, students will develop a strong foundation in conversational Egyptian Arabic.
