Jusuur 1 presents a well-rounded curriculum that encourages active
communication in Arabic from day one and is suitable for engaging
students at a variety of levels including high school, community
college, and four-year colleges. Students learn the letters and
sounds of Arabic with the accompanying Jusuur 1 Arabic Alphabet
Workbook, while they simultaneously use Jusuur 1 to work through
thematically organized lessons on such topics as greetings,
hospitality, free time, and family. Jusuur 1 invites students to
make the linguistic, social, and cultural connections key to
language acquisition through carefully scaffolded vocabulary and
grammar activities, cultural explanations, and frequent
opportunities for reflection. A series of companion videos, filmed
in Jordan, offers a unique introduction to common everyday
interactions in the Arab world. Jusuur 1 is the first of two books
in the Jusuur Arabic Language Program; students who successfully
finish the program will be able to communicate at novice-high or
intermediate-low levels of proficiency. The Jusuur curriculum,
which draws from the pedagogical strengths of the best-selling
Al-Kitaab Arabic Language Program, provides students with a wealth
of written and audio-visual materials to develop skills in
speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Instructors will benefit
from extensive complementary instructor's resources, including
teacher's guides, worksheets, and audio recordings, making it easy
to design an enriching and engaging experience for students.

This book highlights research that expands on our knowledge of
second- language collocation acquisition. It presents original
findings based on the largest collocation database to date,
encompassing over 8,000 collocations: verb + noun, adjective +
noun, and noun + noun. These collocations, collected from a
one-million-learner corpus, were not confined to English as a
foreign language (EFL) learners at a particular proficiency level,
but also included learners at three levels. As such, the book
provides a panoramic view regarding L2 collocation acquisition, not
only in terms of learners' acquisition of different types of
collocations, but in terms of the developmental patterns in L2
collocation learning. One major discovery is that there is a
collocation lag as learners' proficiency levels rise, which is
associated with vocabulary increase, in particular semantic
domains-a remarkable insight for second-language acquisition
researchers, English teachers and EFL learners alike. The findings
reported shed new light on how collocations are acquired by EFL
learners, offering guidance on how they can best be taught. In
closing, the book discusses pedagogical aspects that arise from
considering how learners can be helped with collocation learning.
