Since Moroccan Arabic is rarely written or used in <br>formal communication, the strength of the book lies in training learners in <br>speaking and listening skills that can be used in everyday situations. <br><br>The book uses Romanized transcription alongside Arabic script for the first three <br>chapters and thereafter only the Arabic script. It also includes a glossary and <br>answer key. It requires approximately 120 contact hours, plus 180-240 additional <br>hours of preparation outside class. A novice student should reach the <br>intermediate-mid level of proficiency by the end of this course. <br><br><br><br>Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics<br> Language Acquisition<br><br>Subject Language(s): Arabic, Moroccan Spoken (ary)<br><br><br>Written In: English (eng)<br><br><div>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>End of Arabic-L: 24 Feb 2011</div></body></html>
