The Iraqi Arabic Dialect Orientation Course was designed to meet the immediate needs of Operation Desert Shield and to supplement already existing Arabic materials, and presumes a rudimentary understanding of Arabic. The package includes four CDs and a 117 page text.
The course consists of eleven lessons: The first lesson focuses on pronunciation and an introduction of Iraqi dialect sounds; lessons two through eleven are designed around selected topic areas which highlight common situations one might expect to encounter. Typical situations include greetings, use of courtesy phrases, expressions of time and weather, and similar topics. These lessons illustrate these topics using relevant dialogues, with an emphasis on the key vocabulary related to that topic.
Lessons consist of text and audio CD support. Usually a student can master each lesson in two to three hours. The text also makes it possible for instructors to present a crash course at remote locations. It was not the intent to present an exhaustive or complete Arabic grammar or vocabulary list, instead, the course must be viewed as an effort to teach students to begin to read Arabic. Scripts are included as a reference only for instructors and Modern Standard Arabic graduates. The contents of the text are: Lesson 1: Guide to Pronunciation; Lesson 2: Question Words and Negation 7; Lesson 3: Greetings; Lesson 4: Giving Information; Lesson 5: Courtesy Phrases and Expressions; Lesson 6: Numbers; Lesson 7: Time Expressions; Lesson 8: The Weather; Lesson 9: Giving and Receiving Directions; Lesson 11: Planning an Attack; Grammar Charts; Verbs in Imperative Mood; Glossary.
