Class Details
This course will serve as an introduction to Iraqi Colloquial Arabic. We will focus on the Arabic of Baghdad, the most widely spoken dialect of Iraq and one that shares important similarities with Gulf Arabic as spoken in places such as Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and eastern Saudi Arabia. We will focus primarily on enhancing students’ speaking and listening skills in the dialect, as well as on major grammatical structures and essential vocabulary. Learning activities will include task-based conversations, listening comprehension exercises, as well as oral presentations. In addition to the textbook, supplementary materials will also be used.
