About this title

Synopsis

This Arabic Language textbook is for those students who have taken about 4 semesters of Arabic or who are at the Intermediate Mid level (ACTFL). Learning at this level remains communicative and rich in dialogues and exercises that are all related to the dialogue learned. Dialects are introduced again through songs from various parts of the Arab world. In addition, authentic stories from the Arab old tradition are introduced and learned. 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.
