Headlinesâ€•print and broadcastâ€•have gone global. As a result, news and information from authentic sources make a useful resource for foreign language learners.

Advanced Media Arabic systematically introduces authentic texts and audio files from a wide variety of media sources. This textbook helps students develop analytical and translation skills in Arabic and expand their reading, writing, listening, and speaking capabilities. The book emphasizes the semantic and stylistic aspects of media Arabic rather than its grammar and aims to equip students with the ability to listen to and converse about current events.

Organized by theme, each of the ten chapters covers current issues like:

o Diplomacy
o Elections
o Trade and Industry
o Violence and Disorder
o Law and Order
o Economy
o War and Military Action
o Natural Disasters
o Terrorism
o Arabic television talk shows

Each chapter provides important vocabulary; examples of language in context; exercises for reading and listening comprehension, writing, and translation; and a section for discussion and debate.

The listening materialâ€•60 minutes of spoken materialâ€•is available for free online at www.press.georgetown.edu.
