  <full-text>&lt;p&gt;In fall 2009, the Department of Modern and Classical Languages will offer a new
course in Arabic Media, FRLN 330. The course is designed to provide
students with the basic skills and vocabulary required for
understanding the language of newspapers, magazines, television and
internet news.&amp;nbsp; It will cover a wide range of topics such as business, elections, political demonstrations, trials, conflicts, terrorism, disasters, and aid.&lt;/p&gt;
