 Summer Intensive Courses in Elementary and Second year Arabic
 Summer Session 1:  May 23th-June 30th, 2000.
 The University of Pennsylvania

 Elementary Arabic is an intensive, full year courses in Modern Standard
 Arabic, the Arabic used in formal discourse in the contemporary Arab world.
 Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to read and
 understand texts on familiar topics, carry on simple conversations, and
 engage in basic written correspondence.  The course will cover the same
 material as Penn's year-long Elementary Arabic course (AMES 030), and will
 prepare students for Penn's second-year course, Intermediate Arabic (AMES
 031).

 Second year Arabic assumes knowledge of first year Arabic or the equivalent.
 The goal of the course is to expand the student's vocabulary, ability to
 apply the grammar learned in first year Arabic, and acclimatize the student
 to a native speaking environment.  The course will cover the same material
 as Penn's year-long Intermediate Arabic course.

 Graduate students studying medieval Islamic civilization or comparative
 Semitic studies will be introduced to bibliographic tools for the study of
 early and classical Arabic.
