About this Unit
In 2013 this unit replaced by 102019 - Arabic 202. This is a post-beginner unit for intermediate level study of Modern Standard Arabic suitable for Post HSC entry. It aims to develop all four core skills, listening, speaking, reading and writing, towards more sophisticated communicative transactions ranging from casual to formal styles of speech. However, the special focus of this unit is on developing, in particular, listening and speaking skills in the Arabic language. Cultural and social understanding is also fostered through research projects on specific cultural or social aspects that are of interest to students. A range of CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) activities are utilised for this unit.
