Al-Asas for Teaching Arabic for Non-Native Speakers: Part 1, Beginner Level (with Online Audio Content) (Arabic Edition) (Arabic for Non-native Speakers-professional)
Al-Asas for Teaching Arabic for Non-Native Speakers This four-part series is intended for teaching Arabic as a foreign language to students of diverse backgrounds. First published in 2003, the series has been expanded to cover four different levels. Topics cover many aspects of the Arab world, including geography, politics and culture. Texts are short, advancing from simpler to more complex passages based on student needs and linguistic abilities. Grammatical and conjugational concepts are introduced in a brief manner for easy comprehension. In every lesson, a text is first introduced, and then followed by a question and answer comprehension section. This is followed by linguistic exercises and a demonstration of grammatical and conjugational concepts employed within the context of the topic. Finally, both an audio selection and writing exercise related to the lesson topic are included. Every lesson thus covers the four language skill areas, and trains students in using the linguistic content of the main text.
