In light of the rapidly growing number of people studying Arabic-in
academia, governments, NGOs, and business-Media Arabic is a unique
and timely learning tool for anyone looking to access news
information from this important global region firsthand. Media
Arabic introduces the language of the newspapers, magazines, and
internet news sites to intermediate and advanced level students of
Modern Standard Arabic. Using this textbook, students will be able
to master core vocabulary and structures typical of front-page
news, recognize various modes of coverage, distinguish fact from
opinion, detect bias, and read critically in Arabic.
Drawing on their long experience as Arabic instructors, Alaa
Elgibali and Nevenka Korica have organized the book into six
chapters, each covering a dominant news topic: Talks and
Conferences, Demonstrations and Protests, Conflicts and Terrorism,
Elections, Rule of Law, and Business. In addition, the book offers
three self-assessment units and a glossary organized by theme.
The book enables students to read extended texts with greater
accuracy and speed by focusing on the relationships among meaning,
language form, and markers of cohesive discourse. The activities
include pre-reading discussions as well as extensive practice on
vocabulary in context, organizing information, skimming, scanning,
critical reading, and analyzing content.
