Modern Languages (Arabic) - Ahmed Bekhet

ARABIC 101/102 - Arabic Language

Imagine yourself spending four weeks in Summer in Rabat, Morocco—a bustling city with medieval marketplaces, ancient city walls against the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, and a rich cultural life with art galleries, music, and theater. While immersing yourself in a new culture, enjoying a variety of dishes from Moroccan cuisine, meeting new people, and making long-lasting friendships, you will learn the Arabic language and culture and earn university credits. For no additional cost, you will also go on weekend excursions to places across the country such as Meknes, Fes, Chefchaouen, Tanger, and the Sahara.

HUMN 300 - Introduction to the Arab World

In this course, students will learn how to interpret specific cultural, religious, and social customs involved in Arab-Muslim behavior and practices through meeting with people, attending local and cultural events, visiting historical places, and trying various dishes from the Moroccan cuisine. Students will also be introduced to other aspects of the Arab culture such as language, literature, music, fashion, art, and architecture when visiting Museums, Palaces, Mosques and exploring the old marketplaces established in medieval times. This course is a great opportunity for students to raise their consciousness regarding diversity, stereotyping, and prejudice and developing their analytical and critical skills. Although this course focuses on various aspects of the Arabic culture, it is mainly designed to prepare students to become successful future leaders and effective global citizens.
