Description
I Love the Arabic Language – Textbook Level 1
I Love the Arabic Language is a comprehensive series designed to teach Arabic to non-native speakers, covering primary education levels (Levels 1–6, approximately ages 6–11). This series follows Arabic in Kindergarten (ages 3–5) and provides a modern, engaging, and fully integrated approach to Arabic learning.
The program emphasizes teaching Arabic as a living language through interactive and discovery-based methods. Children learn not by rote memorization but by engaging with the language—exploring, understanding, and using it actively. The series develops three key competencies:
-
Linguistic Competence: Listening, speaking, reading, and writing, along with phonetics, vocabulary, and grammar.
-
Communicative Competence: The ability to communicate effectively with native speakers.
-
Cultural Competence: Introduction to Arab-Islamic culture in a child-friendly and captivating manner, while incorporating elements of general culture familiar to children in Western contexts.
The series is entirely based on Modern Standard Arabic and follows the latest methods in foreign language teaching. It also aligns with the European Framework for Languages (CEFR), ensuring Arabic gains its proper place alongside other international languages.
