Answer:
Arabic Learning Goals for the Major
I. The goal of the Arabic major is to achieve advanced language proficiency in the four areas of language performance: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Though coursework will take place in Modern Standard Arabic, Arabic majors will study colloquial Arabic while abroad and develop competence in the appropriate use of both language registers. Complementary to the language learning goals, Arabic majors will pursue work in one of two academic disciplines: literature or linguistics.
