Description

This advanced course focuses on all aspects of oral and written communication. It has three components: 1) review of the basic rules of mechanics and grammar; 2) use of selected texts to practice reading aloud, remedy speech errors, and to develop comprehension and appreciation; and 3) practice of writing in response to topic assignments. The course also provides students with the skills for interpersonal, group, and public communication and debate, and develops awareness of the importance of variations between colloquial and formal forms of language used in various Arabic-speaking countries. This course is designed exclusively for students who hold an International Baccalaureate or a foreign cultural mission baccalaureate in Morocco, and they are enrolled in it based on placement test results.
