Arabiyyat al Naas (Part Two): An Intermediate Course in Arabic
offers a vibrant course in Arabic as it is written and spoken today
by educated native speakers. Not only does it continue the
innovative integration of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and
Levantine Arabic used in Part One of the series, but it does so in
a way that supports and develops students' increased mastery of the
language. Combining a greater focus on cultural topics with an
increased coverage of MSA, Part Two introduces more sophisticated
communication, giving students a deeper awareness of the cultural
base of the Arabic language. Features include: Twenty-one
theme-based units covering a wide range of relevant and engaging
topics, including education and learning, jobs and professions, the
Arab woman, religion, money and the economy, politics and
government and the environment Thorough coverage of listening,
speaking, writing and reading skills in every unit, with lessons
structured to provide students with variety, stimulation and
further opportunities for practice Humorous, realistic dialogues
reflecting everyday educated speech among Arabs to build up strong
and practical communication skills A rich variety of reading
passages, including poems, short stories, newspaper articles,
descriptions of Arab cities and biographies of famous figures,
designed to improve comprehension and analytical skills and to
deepen students' knowledge of Arab history, culture, language, and
literature An extensive range of appealing exercises and
activities, including crossword puzzles, root-and-pattern
identification exercises, passage completions, guided and free
compositions, and songs Free accompanying downloadable resources
that include audio recordings of the listening materials in the 21
units and a number of songs tied to their themes Free companion
website (www.routledge.com/cw/younes) featuring the texts of the
listening passages, the audio recordings, a track list of all the
audio materials, the answer keys to the crossword puzzles, sample
tests and language games. Developed by an experienced and dynamic
author team and tested over a number of years at Cornell
University, Arabiyyat al Naas (Part Two) will be an essential
resource for intermediate-level students of Arabic. While primarily
designed for classroom use, the accessibility of the course also
renders it highly suitable for independent study. This volume is
the second in a pioneering three-part series of Arabic textbooks
which together provide a complete three-year undergraduate language
program.
