Subject:query about GMU's offering Iraqi dialect

Greetings.

That is good news about GMU's new offering of Iraqi Arabic.  
Interesting that this program will familiarize learners with the major  
regional dialects of Iraqi Arabic:

[1] Northern, centered around Mosul, aka "Moslawi"

[2] Central/western (comparative generic & common), aka "Baghdadi"

[3] Southern, centered around Basra, aka "Basrawi"

What textbooks and supporting materials will be used? (UCLA uses  
mostly Yassin Al-Khalesi's two books for its offerings in that dialect.)

Regards,
