Al-Kitaab Fii Ta Allum Al-Arabiyya, Pt.3 - A Textbook for Arabic (Paperback)

This Arabic language textbook program uses a communicative, proficiency-oriented approach with fully integrated audio-visual media to teach modern Arabic as a living language. Intended primarily for college and graduate students but accessible enough for anyone interested in learning modern Arabic, the series focuses on developing skills in standard Arabic and gradually introducing students to the most widely spoken dialect in the Arabic-speaking world.

Continuing the Al-Kitaab Arabic textbook program, Part Three contains more than thirty authentic texts by writers from across the Arab world addressing a range of political, social, religious, and literary themes, and representing a range of genres, styles, and periods. Although the book focuses primarily on modern Arabic, classical Arabic texts have been incorporated into some of the lessons to introduce students to the continuity of the language.

Accompanied by audio CDs, Al-Kitaab, Part Three combines the features of a textbook and a reader. Like its predecessors, this book presents vocabulary-building drills and contextualized explanations of grammar, with exercises designed to lead students toward independent learning. New with this volume is increased attention to the stylistic features of Arabic, and exercises that aim at transforming passive skills into active ones.
