Saudi Arabic Language and Culture Familiarization Course: Arab Cultural Assimilator, Books 1-5. Reprint.
Fiedler, Fred E.; And Others
A five-book programed course in Arab culture is offered for professionals who are about to be stationed in the Middle East. This material is designed to supplement the Defense Language Institute's course in Saudi Arabic. In order to impart awareness of Saudi cultural characteristics, 66 hypothetical situations that might be encountered in day-to-day living in the Arab Middle East are described. The student is asked to choose which of several given analyses of each situation is correct. For each choice, an explanation is offered for the correctness or incorrectness of the response. The student is required to make choices until the correct analysis is selected. The amount of time required to complete the course is therefore dependent on the individual student's ability to learn to recognize the correct cultural explanation of the behavior of participants in a given situation.
