Synopsis

This textbook is for total beginners in Arabic (high school and college level) who are interested in learning Arabic in a communicative, task-based way. The textbook quickly Arahelps the students to acquire knowledge of the Arabic letters and sounds and moves into using words and phrases that can be useful to them in everyday life situations from greetings, to introducing themselves, to explaining cultural nuances, to talking about their backgrounds and families. The textbook integrates all four language strands: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Many ideas and exercises are suggested for the teachers use. The textbook is in full color.

About the Author

The series was made possible by funding and encouragement from the Language Acquisition Resource Center under the directorship of Dr. Mary Ann Lyman-Hager and hosted at the San Diego State University. Dr. Ghada Osman, the director of the Center of Arabic and Islamic Studies at the San Diego State University, offered us invaluable advice and encouragement. Drs. Mohamed Sherif and Dany Doueiri spent long hours editing and fine tuning the content in this book. We would like to thank Mr. Saad ElDeghwy for all the help with the audio recording. Our sincerest thanks go to Mrs. Lina Hariri who was the artistic producer of this book. This book includes many authentic pieces of Arabic comics, news, and stories that were made possible by the generosity of many publishing houses and authors who gave us the permission to use their materials including Mrs. Nabiha Mhaydli of Dar AlHadaek, the Honorable Ghassan Tueini of Annahar newspaper, Ferastoons, AlWatan newspaper, AlAhram newspaper and the Ta aam website. In addition, high frequency dialect (A miyyah) utternaces were incorporated in each dialogue to give the learner a flavor of a miyyah across the Arab world. We hope that you enjoy and benefit from using this textbook. Hanada Taha-Thomure, Ph.D.
