The texts contain many dialogues in order\r\nto train students and encourage them to use the language. Each\r\ntext is followed by a list of new words that appeared in the text as\r\nwell as other words related to the subject matter. This is followed\r\nby comprehension questions and exercises that target different\r\nskills. A conversation exercise is available at the end of every\r\nlesson and requires the instructor to practice with the students on\r\nusing the terms learned in the lesson and previous ones to have\r\na conversation in Arabic. Instructors are advised to use pictures\r\nwhere the content of the pictures contains answers to the questions\r\nthe instructor asks.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nSome lessons contain Arab and Islamic cultural elements so that\r\nstudents would learn aspects of Arab culture in addition to language.\r\nThe rules of grammar and conjugation appear in functional form in the\r\ntexts but little focus has been made on them or their details because I\r\nbelieve that language is learned through practice first and not simply\r\nthrough learning rules of grammar without a functional dimension. \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe purpose of the grammar presentation in the book is to teach students the major patterns of simple Arabic sentences without burdening them with the rules of conjugation at this early level. It is more important now for students to learn how to arrange words into a correct sentence.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nalso the book briefly mentioned some constructs to be dealt with in\r\nmore detail in subsequent levels. My focus in this level was mainlyon building the linguistic skills needed for daily use because that\r\nwould be of more benefit to students than simply explaining rules\r\nof grammars that students might have difficulty retaining. Students\r\nat the beginner level find no practical use to memorizing rules of\r\ngrammar. \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe grammar sections in this level focused mainly on\r\nthe conjugation of verbs with separate pronouns because verbs are\r\nthe spine of the Arabic language. The book’s lessons also focus on\r\nthe basic rules of formulating a grammatically-correct sentence that\r\nwould be combined into a grammatically-correct paragraphs and\r\ntexts. \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe purpose is ultimately to familiarize students with the basic\r\nrules of grammar and conjugation.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\nThe book contains four appendixes:\r\n\u003col\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAppendix 1 \u0026amp; 2:\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n they contains a glossary of words used in\r\nthe texts and exercises of the lessons. The words are organized\r\nin the order in which they appear in the text – not in alphabetical\r\norder so as to be easy to follow for students. I thought of\r\ntranslating the glossary into several languages in addition to\r\nEnglish (as I did with the first edition six years ago). I was\r\nsurprised and delighted when my students rushed to the task.\r\nThe glossary was thus translated into major global languages:\r\nEnglish, French, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese, as well as\r\ninto Japanese and Korean. The translation was proofread by\r\nadvanced Arabic language students who were native speakers\r\nof the languages they revised.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAppendix 3:\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n It contains the conjugation of verbs in three\r\ntenses (past, present, and imperative) with separate pronouns.\r\nMost of the verbs were mentioned in the lessons while therest were selected because they are related closely to daily\r\nactivities. The purpose is to build up students’ lexicon, give\r\nthem the confidence to use the language and encourage them\r\nto continue studying it (which is the primary purpose in my\r\nopinion).\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAppendix 4:\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n This appendix is dedicated to singular and\r\nplural forms. It contains the singular and plural forms of nouns\r\nmentioned in the lessons. The reason I dedicated an appendix\r\nto plural forms is the absence of a rule that students can use\r\nto form irregular plurals, which are common and heavily-used\r\nin Arabic. Foreign students – even at advanced stages – have\r\ndifficulty forming irregular plural nouns.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAppendix 5:\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\r\n A general int\u003c\/b\u003eroduction to the Islamic and\r\nGregorian calendars as well as brief profiles of Arab countries,\r\nincluding capitals and currencies.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAppendix 6: \r\n\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolitical map of the Arab world including the\r\ncapitals and important cities.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAppendix 7:\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contains the singular and plural forms of the\r\nhuman body parts, which were mentioned previously.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAppendix 8:\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e List Arabic grammar Vocabularies along with\r\nEnglish translation.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e Appendix 9:\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The English translations of all the questions in\r\nthis book along with the page number they are located in.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\r\n\r\nThe enclosed Audio CD contains:\r\n\u003col\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e A slow and clear audio recording of the alphabet with adequate translation in\r\nEnglish. \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e The main lessons are recorded clearly.

Instructors are advised to use pictures\r\nwhere the content of the pictures contains answers to the questions\r\nthe instructor asks.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nSome lessons contain Arab and Islamic cultural elements so that\r\nstudents would learn aspects of Arab culture in addition to language.\r\nThe rules of grammar and conjugation appear in functional form in the\r\ntexts but little focus has been made on them or their details because I\r\nbelieve that language is learned through practice first and not simply\r\nthrough learning rules of grammar without a functional dimension. \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe purpose of the grammar presentation in the book is to teach students the major patterns of simple Arabic sentences without burdening them with the rules of conjugation at this early level. It is more important now for students to learn how to arrange words into a correct sentence.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nalso the book briefly mentioned some constructs to be dealt with in\r\nmore detail in subsequent levels. My focus in this level was mainlyon building the linguistic skills needed for daily use because that\r\nwould be of more benefit to students than simply explaining rules\r\nof grammars that students might have difficulty retaining. Students\r\nat the beginner level find no practical use to memorizing rules of\r\ngrammar. \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe grammar sections in this level focused mainly on\r\nthe conjugation of verbs with separate pronouns because verbs are\r\nthe spine of the Arabic language. The book’s lessons also focus on\r\nthe basic rules of formulating a grammatically-correct sentence that\r\nwould be combined into a grammatically-correct paragraphs and\r\ntexts. \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe purpose is ultimately to familiarize students with the basic\r\nrules of grammar and conjugation.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\nThe book contains four appendixes:\r\n\u003col\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAppendix 1 \u0026amp; 2:\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n they contains a glossary of words used in\r\nthe texts and exercises of the lessons. The words are organized\r\nin the order in which they appear in the text – not in alphabetical\r\norder so as to be easy to follow for students. I thought of\r\ntranslating the glossary into several languages in addition to\r\nEnglish (as I did with the first edition six years ago). I was\r\nsurprised and delighted when my students rushed to the task.\r\nThe glossary was thus translated into major global languages:\r\nEnglish, French, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese, as well as\r\ninto Japanese and Korean. The translation was proofread by\r\nadvanced Arabic language students who were native speakers\r\nof the languages they revised.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAppendix 3:\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n It contains the conjugation of verbs in three\r\ntenses (past, present, and imperative) with separate pronouns.\r\nMost of the verbs were mentioned in the lessons while therest were selected because they are related closely to daily\r\nactivities. The purpose is to build up students’ lexicon, give\r\nthem the confidence to use the language and encourage them\r\nto continue studying it (which is the primary purpose in my\r\nopinion).\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAppendix 4:\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n This appendix is dedicated to singular and\r\nplural forms. It contains the singular and plural forms of nouns\r\nmentioned in the lessons. The reason I dedicated an appendix\r\nto plural forms is the absence of a rule that students can use\r\nto form irregular plurals, which are common and heavily-used\r\nin Arabic. Foreign students – even at advanced stages – have\r\ndifficulty forming irregular plural nouns.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAppendix 5:\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\r\n A general int\u003c\/b\u003eroduction to the Islamic and\r\nGregorian calendars as well as brief profiles of Arab countries,\r\nincluding capitals and currencies.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAppendix 6: \r\n\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolitical map of the Arab world including the\r\ncapitals and important cities.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAppendix 7:\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contains the singular and plural forms of the\r\nhuman body parts, which were mentioned previously.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAppendix 8:\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e List Arabic grammar Vocabularies along with\r\nEnglish translation.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e Appendix 9:\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The English translations of all the questions in\r\nthis book along with the page number they are located in.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\r\n\r\nThe enclosed Audio CD contains:\r\n\u003col\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e A slow and clear audio recording of the alphabet with adequate translation in\r\nEnglish. \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cli\u003e The main lessons are recorded clearly.

{"id":10339545614,"title":"Al-Asas for Teaching Arabic for Non-Native Speakers: Part 3, Intermediate Level (with Online Audio Content) الأسـاس في تعليم العربية للناطقين بغيرها","handle":"al-asas-for-teaching-arabic-to-non-native-speakers-part-3-intermediate-level-with-mp3-cd","description":"The book contains 23 lessons that have been selected to meet the needs of students from different backgrounds. The topics selected cover the main aspects of the Arab world, including its important geographic location and its impact on contemporary world politics. The lessons also focus on the Arab world’s great natural resources, which have made it the focus of international attention, especially by major powers and global investment companies, and the resulting increase in the flow of people desiring to learn Arabic in the hope of finding career opportunities in the Arab world, especially in the Arabian Gulf region and Iraq.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe book also includes topics that reflect Arab culture, Arab social customs and traditions, the status of Arab women, and some Arabic proverbs. Some lessons discuss old Arab cities, such as Jerusalem, Amman, Sanaa, and Gaza. The cities are introduced and their civilizations and artifacts discussed.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis book also takes into consideration the different backgrounds of students, such as medical doctors and foreign students’ need to visit hospitals during their stay in an Arab country. A lesson entitled “A Visit to the University Hospital” was thus added and includes the main terminology a patient and doctor might need. The texts are short and progress from simple to more complex in a manner that is in line with the needs of students and their abilities.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIn every lesson, a text is first introduced, followed by a question and answer comprehension section. This is followed by exercises and a demonstration of some grammatical and conjugational concepts that are employed within the context of the topic. A listening text that is related to the lesson topic is included, and finally, a writing exercise that is also related to the topic of the lesson. Every lesson thus handles the four language skills and trains students on them using the content of the main text.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBecause of the complex and difficult nature of teaching listening skills and the need to assist teachers and students in this important undertaking, I felt it necessary to pay detailed attention to listening skills. The purpose of listening texts is to gradually develop students’ ability to comprehend spoken Arabic. The listening texts selected are thus relevant to the original text, but students are not expected to know or understand all the terms that occur in the listening text. What is important at this stage is that students are able to understand the gist of the text. Students can conduct an oral question and answer exercise with the assistance of the instructor using the questions and exercises in the book to further their comprehension of the listening text.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nOne of the easiest ways to teach listening skills is for the instructor to task their students with listening to the text at home—not as a homework assignment but to train their ears on listening to Arabic while giving them the freedom to listen to the text as often as they wish, since these texts are recorded on the online audio content. Listening skills should be taught in a language lab. Students are asked to listen to the text twice, and then the instructor asks them to determine the main idea of the text. After surveying the students’ responses, the instructor writes down the answer on the board, or asks a student to do so.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe instructor then asks their students to quickly and silently go over the lesson’s questions and exercises in the book. The listening text is played again and students are then asked to respond to the questions orally. The text is played one more time and students are asked to identify difficult words and expressions, which the instructor writes down on the board and explains. The instructor asks students (one at a time and using no more than two sentences) to start relating the ideas of the listening text in order. The instructor can avoid embarrassing students who cannot remember the order of ideas in the text by asking the person sitting next to them to help, for example. If the text is a story, the instructor can distribute the roles of the story’s characters among the students, who can then act it out.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIt is also possible to use the listening text to test the students’ spelling skills. The instructor can, for example, ask students to write down the first three sentences they hear. The sentences are then written in their correct form on the board, and students exchange and mark each others' papers. This exercise is known as a “learning test.” The instructor may also ask students to write down the listening text at home.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGradually, students can be trained to listen to an Arabic newscast at home and try to summarize it. This exercise might seem difficult at the outset, but it is important to encourage students to keep trying. Grammatical and conjugational concepts are introduced in a brief manner by outlining the rule and then focusing on exercises, which are numerous and varied and avoid the tediousness of the traditional way of teaching Arabic grammar. Difficult concepts are backed with tables that help students better understand and grasp them.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nExercises to review past lessons and refresh students’ memories are available in Lesson 13. In addition, the final lesson contains a general revision, Test Your Knowledge, which is comprised of exercises that review the main rules of syntax, conjugation, and linguistics that students must grasp upon completing this level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe book has six appendixes:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAppendix 1: Arabic-English Dictionary: New terms are arranged by lesson, not by alphabetical order for ease of reference.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAppendix 2: Arabic-Arabic Dictionary: It provides students with their own dictionaries to help them in their studies and develop their vocabulary.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAppendix 3: This appendix contains a list of most of the verbs used in the lessons and their sources.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAppendix 4: This appendix contains a list of nouns in their singular and plural forms. This appendix was introduced upon observing the great interest given to nouns and their forms by most students.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAppendix 5: This appendix contains a list of words selected from the texts and their antonyms.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAppendix 6: This appendix contains a list of Arabic grammar vocabulary along with its English translation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe accompanying online audio contains a clear recording of the texts of the main lessons and a recording of the listening texts accompanying each main

book contains 23 lessons that have been selected to meet the needs of students from different backgrounds. The topics selected cover the main aspects of the Arab world, including its important geographic location and its impact on contemporary world politics. The lessons also focus on the Arab world’s great natural resources, which have made it the focus of international attention, especially by major powers and global investment companies, and the resulting increase in the flow of people desiring to learn Arabic in the hope of finding career opportunities in the Arab world, especially in the Arabian Gulf region and Iraq.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe book also includes topics that reflect Arab culture, Arab social customs and traditions, the status of Arab women, and some Arabic proverbs. Some lessons discuss old Arab cities, such as Jerusalem, Amman, Sanaa, and Gaza. The cities are introduced and their civilizations and artifacts discussed.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis book also takes into consideration the different backgrounds of students, such as medical doctors and foreign students’ need to visit hospitals during their stay in an Arab country. A lesson entitled “A Visit to the University Hospital” was thus added and includes the main terminology a patient and doctor might need. The texts are short and progress from simple to more complex in a manner that is in line with the needs of students and their abilities.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIn every lesson, a text is first introduced, followed by a question and answer comprehension section. This is followed by exercises and a demonstration of some grammatical and conjugational concepts that are employed within the context of the topic. A listening text that is related to the lesson topic is included, and finally, a writing exercise that is also related to the topic of the lesson. Every lesson thus handles the four language skills and trains students on them using the content of the main text.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBecause of the complex and difficult nature of teaching listening skills and the need to assist teachers and students in this important undertaking, I felt it necessary to pay detailed attention to listening skills. The purpose of listening texts is to gradually develop students’ ability to comprehend spoken Arabic. The listening texts selected are thus relevant to the original text, but students are not expected to know or understand all the terms that occur in the listening text. What is important at this stage is that students are able to understand the gist of the text. Students can conduct an oral question and answer exercise with the assistance of the instructor using the questions and exercises in the book to further their comprehension of the listening text.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nOne of the easiest ways to teach listening skills is for the instructor to task their students with listening to the text at home—not as a homework assignment but to train their ears on listening to Arabic while giving them the freedom to listen to the text as often as they wish, since these texts are recorded on the online audio content. Listening skills should be taught in a language lab. Students are asked to listen to the text twice, and then the instructor asks them to determine the main idea of the text. After surveying the students’ responses, the instructor writes down the answer on the board, or asks a student to do so.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe instructor then asks their students to quickly and silently go over the lesson’s questions and exercises in the book. The listening text is played again and students are then asked to respond to the questions orally. The text is played one more time and students are asked to identify difficult words and expressions, which the instructor writes down on the board and explains. The instructor asks students (one at a time and using no more than two sentences) to start relating the ideas of the listening text in order. The instructor can avoid embarrassing students who cannot remember the order of ideas in the text by asking the person sitting next to them to help, for example. If the text is a story, the instructor can distribute the roles of the story’s characters among the students, who can then act it out.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIt is also possible to use the listening text to test the students’ spelling skills. The instructor can, for example, ask students to write down the first three sentences they hear. The sentences are then written in their correct form on the board, and students exchange and mark each others' papers. This exercise is known as a “learning test.” The instructor may also ask students to write down the listening text at home.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGradually, students can be trained to listen to an Arabic newscast at home and try to summarize it. This exercise might seem difficult at the outset, but it is important to encourage students to keep trying. Grammatical and conjugational concepts are introduced in a brief manner by outlining the rule and then focusing on exercises, which are numerous and varied and avoid the tediousness of the traditional way of teaching Arabic grammar. Difficult concepts are backed with tables that help students better understand and grasp them.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nExercises to review past lessons and refresh students’ memories are available in Lesson 13. In addition, the final lesson contains a general revision, Test Your Knowledge, which is comprised of exercises that review the main rules of syntax, conjugation, and linguistics that students must grasp upon completing this level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe book has six appendixes:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAppendix 1: Arabic-English Dictionary: New terms are arranged by lesson, not by alphabetical order for ease of reference.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAppendix 2: Arabic-Arabic Dictionary: It provides students with their own dictionaries to help them in their studies and develop their vocabulary.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAppendix 3: This appendix contains a list of most of the verbs used in the lessons and their sources.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAppendix 4: This appendix contains a list of nouns in their singular and plural forms.

As in previous editions, the direct communication approach was used in order to make do—as much as possible—without the use of an intermediate language or the need for translation.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe texts of the lessons have been selected to ensure that content meets with students’ needs at different levels. The lessons encompass a variety of topics and cater to different learning needs. The texts of the lessons are original works. They include terms that are used on a daily basis, including frequently used verbs, nouns, and collocations. An audio version of the texts is available as online audio content so that students can practice reading at their convenience. A list of new words follows the text along with words that are related to the topic of the text.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSome words are repeated intentionally due to their importance. These words are audio recorded and translated into English on the online audio content. The lessons also use dialogues on the same topic so that students have more opportunities to practice reading and retain the largest possible number of terms to integrate more easily into Arab society. This will give students greater confidence while speaking Arabic and help rid them of their reluctance to use it outside the classroom.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLessons include a section on comprehension, where questions are designed to gauge the student’s comprehension of the text and train them to formulate answers to grammatically sound sentences. Terms are presented in a variety of ways, including illustrations, synonyms, and antonyms so as to expand the students’ lexicon.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nExercises include fill-in-the-blank and arranging words to form meaningful sentences. Grammar and conjugation exercises are designed in a gradual approach that furnishes students with basic rules to aid in learning Arabic and speaking it with as few mistakes as possible. The importance of these basic rules has been stressed in the construction of simple and complex sentences that are indispensable to students of Arabic. As indicated in the introduction to Part I, this book steers away from the traditional approach of teaching the rules of grammar and conjugation because teaching is a means not an end in itself; in other words, teaching must be functional and focus on the student.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis book contains exercises to train students on conversational skills in Arabic. Exercises include conversations between students and the instructor and between the students themselves. They aim to help students practice the correct pronunciation of Arabic phonemes through the use of words and sentences that occur in the lessons. Every lesson contains a conversation exercise.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nStudents are also taught to write at least one paragraph. A writing exercise on the lesson's topic appears at the end of each lesson, when students will have enough terminology to write a paragraph or more in the exercise. Instructors must impress upon students the need to pay attention to the hamza and its different forms, as well as the different conjugation marks and punctuation. Instructors should also explain the concept of silent letters (written but not enunciated), such as long vowels that occur at the end of certain verb structures as well as sounds that are enunciated but not spelled out, such as the long vowel in certain words. It is also important to explain the order in which nouns and adjectives are arranged in Arabic. (كتبوا، لم\/لن يكتبوا، اُكْتبوا) (هذا، هذه، هؤلاء، لكنّ)\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe lessons have been supplemented with a general revision under the heading “Test your Knowledge,” followed by two appendixes containing the conjugation of verbs and the conjugation of the singular and plural forms. The purpose of these appendixes is to help students practice basic grammatical and conjugation skills that they should be familiar with upon completing this level.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe book contains six appendixes in total.\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type:disc;\"\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eAppendix 1 \u0026amp; 2 \u003c\/b\u003e contain a glossary of words used in the texts and exercises of the lessons. The words are organized in the order in which they appear in the text (not in alphabetical order) so that it is easy to follow for students. The glossary has been translated into the major global languages: English, French, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese, as well as into Japanese and Korean.

book contains 15 lessons that are closely related to the students’ daily lives. As in previous editions, the direct communication approach was used in order to make do—as much as possible—without the use of an intermediate language or the need for translation.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe texts of the lessons have been selected to ensure that content meets with students’ needs at different levels. The lessons encompass a variety of topics and cater to different learning needs. The texts of the lessons are original works. They include terms that are used on a daily basis, including frequently used verbs, nouns, and collocations. An audio version of the texts is available as online audio content so that students can practice reading at their convenience. A list of new words follows the text along with words that are related to the topic of the text.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSome words are repeated intentionally due to their importance. These words are audio recorded and translated into English on the online audio content. The lessons also use dialogues on the same topic so that students have more opportunities to practice reading and retain the largest possible number of terms to integrate more easily into Arab society. This will give students greater confidence while speaking Arabic and help rid them of their reluctance to use it outside the classroom.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLessons include a section on comprehension, where questions are designed to gauge the student’s comprehension of the text and train them to formulate answers to grammatically sound sentences. Terms are presented in a variety of ways, including illustrations, synonyms, and antonyms so as to expand the students’ lexicon.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nExercises include fill-in-the-blank and arranging words to form meaningful sentences. Grammar and conjugation exercises are designed in a gradual approach that furnishes students with basic rules to aid in learning Arabic and speaking it with as few mistakes as possible. The importance of these basic rules has been stressed in the construction of simple and complex sentences that are indispensable to students of Arabic. As indicated in the introduction to Part I, this book steers away from the traditional approach of teaching the rules of grammar and conjugation because teaching is a means not an end in itself; in other words, teaching must be functional and focus on the student.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis book contains exercises to train students on conversational skills in Arabic. Exercises include conversations between students and the instructor and between the students themselves. They aim to help students practice the correct pronunciation of Arabic phonemes through the use of words and sentences that occur in the lessons. Every lesson contains a conversation exercise.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nStudents are also taught to write at least one paragraph. A writing exercise on the lesson's topic appears at the end of each lesson, when students will have enough terminology to write a paragraph or more in the exercise. Instructors must impress upon students the need to pay attention to the hamza and its different forms, as well as the different conjugation marks and punctuation. Instructors should also explain the concept of silent letters (written but not enunciated), such as long vowels that occur at the end of certain verb structures as well as sounds that are enunciated but not spelled out, such as the long vowel in certain words. It is also important to explain the order in which nouns and adjectives are arranged in Arabic. (كتبوا، لم\/لن يكتبوا، اُكْتبوا) (هذا، هذه، هؤلاء، لكنّ)\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe lessons have been supplemented with a general revision under the heading “Test your Knowledge,” followed by two appendixes containing the conjugation of verbs and the conjugation of the singular and plural forms. The purpose of these appendixes is to help students practice basic grammatical and conjugation skills that they should be familiar with upon completing this level.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe book contains six appendixes in total.\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type:disc;\"\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eAppendix 1 \u0026amp; 2 \u003c\/b\u003e contain a glossary of words used in the texts and exercises of the lessons.
