The Advanced Arabic courses are designed to move learners from a stage where they have achieved all the basic grammatical skills, to being able to use language in a wider cultural context. Learners attempt to feel and emulate the educated native Arabic speaker.
At this level, learners will be introduced to the dialects spoken in the Arab world. Reading and listening materials are extensive and vary depending on the themes that interest the learners. Learners prepare newspaper and journal articles and, in order to improve oral/aural skills, they also study news bulletins, personal interviews, panel discussions and cultural programs recorded on audio and video cassettes and on DVD.
As time permits, learners are exposed to different forms of Arabic reflecting different styles. In addition, learners extend their vocabulary through watching extracts from/or entire Arabic movies.
By the end of the Advanced Level, it is expected that the learners should be able to converse in a clearly participatory fashion, to carry out a wide variety of communicative tasks that requires diverse discourse strategies.
Learners usually reach either Advanced or Advanced-Plus levels in listening, speaking, and reading, and Intermediate-High in writing (240 hours).
