| Cadets gain an understanding of the profession of arms in the Arabic-speaking world through lectures and selected reading materials (e.g. journal articles, Internet media, training manuals, biographies, and historical documents). Course content may encompass the mission and role, training, operations, tactics, and organization of the armed forces. Oral proficiency is enhanced through in-class discussion as well as role-plays and simulations focusing on scenarios likely to be encountered while an officer is deployed in an Arabic-speaking region. Media complement instruction. Graded work may include briefings, role-plays, and simulation. The course is conducted in Arabic. |
