Teaching language is a critical tool in communication and ultimately in the development of knowledge. In our quest to provide our customers with quality materials, we are pleased to offer the Learn Arabic series. It employs modern methods of teaching foreign language to successfully teach the Arabic language to students in K–12th grade. This series was founded upon the following three fundamentals of teaching languages presented in an Islamic context:
- Elements: Sounds, letters, phrases, and pronunciation
- Skills: Reading, writing, speaking, and listening
- Linguistic functions: Introductions, greetings, descriptions, requests, and apologies
The Learn Arabic series consists of textbooks, workbooks, and teacher manuals for grades K–12. The textbooks aim to present basic elements of the Arabic language and their functions, while the activity books focus on enrichment material with a special emphasis on writing. The teacher’s manuals offer tips on teaching Arabic efficiently with positive results.
Teachers will be pleased with the full array of support materials available. These books also include ideas for additional activities, such as songs, competitions, and plays. All of these materials will help to make each lesson exciting and active for students.
The student textbooks are comprised of 24 units: 66 basic lessons of new material, plus an additional 6 units for revision. Each basic unit contains 4 lessons of new material, including dialog text, expressions, vocabulary, and communication exercises. These units contain conversations, pronunciation, expressions, grammatical structures, listening, reading, thinking, writing, and extra activities, such as selections of Qur’an, hadeeth, and nasheed. The teacher books include a midterm and final test. Answer keys can be found in the teacher's manuals.
The activity books simply enhance the material found within the student textbooks. They mainly concentrate on writing skills with some review of verbal skills. Each contains many different activities, which can be done at school or at home, such as coloring and painting pages; word matches; reading letters and sentences; writing words, letters, and numbers; and answering questions. Some of the activities should be completed at home with a parent to strengthen the relationship between home and school.
