Arabiyyat Al-naas: 'Arabiyyat al-Naas: (part two). With CD : An intermediate course in Arabic

*‘Arabiyyat al-Naas (Part One) offers a groundbreaking introduction to Arabic as it is written and spoken by native speakers. It combines a progressive and rigorous grounding in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) – the form employed for reading, writing and formal speaking – with an innovative integration of the spoken Levantine variety used in everyday situations in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine. Introducing the two simultaneously ‘Arabiyyat al Naas (Part One)* uses each in its proper context: Levantine for conversations and MSA for reading and writing activities. In this way, the course efficiently prepares students for the practical realities of learning and "living" Arabic today.

The materials are designed to bring students from the novice low level to the intermediate low level on the ACTFL scale (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages), and from A1 to A2/B1 on the CEFR scale (Common European Framework Reference).This volume is the first in an exciting three-part series of Arabic textbooks which together provide a complete three-year undergraduate language program.**Review'This program is a bold, honest, and compelling presentation of how Arabic is actually used by native speakers. It is thoughtfully presented by seasoned and passionate Arabic teachers and will take the novice Arabic language student to the solid Intermediate Mid level in all four language skills.' Maher Awad, Senior Lecturer of Arabic, Certified ACTFL & ILR Tester, Rice University, US'A truly excellent textbook; comprehensive in its coverage of language skills; uses wide-ranging and up to date material; a good balance between classical and contemporary material; coherent across units and focused in each lesson. Choice of material is careful, closely matching the use of Arabic in social context and maintaining a good balance between narratives, news reports and current affairs. The icing on the cake for me is the element of humour that runs throughout the passages and dialogues. The language learner and the teacher will find this material a joy to work with.' Enam Al-Wer, University of Essex, UK'Arabiyyat al-Naas is a game-changing series that embodies a pioneering approach to Arabic language teaching and learning. By integrating formal and colloquial Arabic, Arabiyyat al-Naas presents the language as it is used in real life. The demand for this approach is now increasing exponentially around the world. Arabiyyat al-Naas is the result of years of creative thinking and innovative teaching.' Jeremy Palmer, American University of Sharjah, UAE‘‘ Arabiyyat al-Naas is one of the best Arabic books that I have ever encountered. I have waited for years for this type of book, and it is finally here. This book teaches the Arabic spoken and formal languages. Could you imagine teaching your foreign student the written language and the colloquial at the same time? Usually, Arabic textbooks only teach one colloquial language. So, you may ask, which colloquial language does ‘ Arabiyyat al-Naas teach ? All of them! Each chapter the actor/hero/player travels to a new Arabic country and talks with the people in their colloquial day-to-day language native to that country. Then she goes and writes in her diary about her experiences and what she learned from that culture. The conversations are absolutely wonderful and sometimes funny. Students will learn to read and speak both dialects without too much trouble. I highly recommend this book to any institution, university, and especially government employees who want to pass their OPI, ACE, DLPT and other standardized tests. I highly encourage all the Arabic teachers in the US and world to use this long waited book. This three level book includes videos, translated conversations, varieties of fun, unique and challenging exercises, friendly pictures and many many more. ‘ Arabiyyat al-Naas is the answer to the questions asked in every educational conference meeting: which Arabic dialect should we teach, should teachers teach colloquial at the same time with the formal language, is it possible that formal and dialect could be taught at the same time? Finally, thanks to all who participated in creating this long awaited fabulous book."
