There's no textbook for this course. Rather, we will be using materials from a variety of sources, including some textbooks for Advanced Arabic. Reading materials will be drawn from newspapers, magazines, and short story collections. We will also use materials from a couple of textbooks that include texts in MSA primarily used for Arabic learning. These are:

Brustad, K., Al-Batal, M., and Al-Tonsay A. Al-Kitaab fi Ta'llum Al-'arabiyya: Part III.

Frangieh, Bassam K. Anthology of Arabic literature, culture, and thought from pre-Islamic times to the present. New Haven : Yale University Press, 2005.

Dickins, James, and Janet C.E. Watson. Standard Arabic: An advanced course.New York: Cambridge University Press, 1999.

Rammuny, R. Advanced Standard Arabic. 1994.

Listening texts will be drawn primarily from Arabic radio and TV broadcasts, and from recorded materials of other Arabic textbooks.
