Developing Writing Skills in Arabic is specifically designed for
upper-intermediate to advanced students who need to write Arabic
for personal, professional and academic purposes. Making use of
reading comprehension, analysis of stylistic devices, a functional
approach to grammar and well-graded exercises, the book exposes the

starts with a passive approach by letting the students analyze and
discuss a sample text in the genre. It then moves on to a
productive approach by expanding vocabulary, practicing using
stylistic devices, studying grammar points pertinent to the main
linguistic function of the chapter, and concludes with writing
short and long compositions, both guided and free. The following
writing styles and genres are covered: Personal writing -
greetings, congratulating, condolences, social and family contact
Professional writing - advertising, applying to a school, writing a
resume Giving instructions - notes, directions, recipes, technical
instructions Description and comparison - objects and places,
people and characters Narration - events and stories,
autobiographies, biographies and diaries Academic writing - stating
an idea, explaining a hypothesis, providing examples, facts and
data. Written by an experienced teacher of Arabic and trialled with
non-native students of Arabic, Developing Writing Skills in Arabic
is the ideal resource to help students write clearly, coherently
and appropriately in a variety of contexts.
