Dear all,

This Fall 2009, George Mason University will be offering _Iraqi Dialect
_- ARAB 380- Topics in Arabic Dialect.
This course is offered on MW 4:30-5:45. This course is open to Mason
students, consortium, and the public. Students must have taken at least
two years of Arabic, or they may also take ARAB 250-Gateway to Advanced
Arabic in the summer, or they will need a permission from the  
instructor.

Course Description, Goals and Objectives:
Iraqi Arabic course is designed to teach the colloquial language of the
people of Iraq, with the emphasis on the dialect of the capital,
Baghdad, northern and southern Iraq as well. The course will teach
students to converse in the target dialect and comprehend the spoken
Iraqi dialect. Besides learning the daily conversation, you will be
introduced to some idioms, folkloric songs, proverbs, and the Iraqi
literature. The Iraqi dialect course will also examine the linguistic
and grammatical aspect of the dialect and compare it to the Modern
Standard Arabic.
The linguistic background of Iraqi Arabic will cover phonology,
morphology, verbs, inflection, Numbering, pronouns and syntax. Through
class discussion and students' presentations, you will learn more about
the Iraqi cities, society, culture, literature, and lifestyle of the
Iraqi people.
