The Intensive Elementary Arabic is an eight-week course intended to teach skills in oral comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing Arabic. Using up-to-date language teaching and proficiency-oriented methodologies, the course also covers the basics of Arabic morphology, syntax, and grammar. While the course's vocabulary is designed to serve the needs of daily conversation in any part of the Arab world, its simultaneous attention to the rules of morphology, syntax, and grammar serves the needs of the prospective scholar.
