Kallimni 'Arabi fi Kull Haaga is a two-level multi-skills course for high-advanced-superior students who have completed upper intermediate and mid-advanced courses in Egyptian colloquial Arabic, and follows on from the other books in the Kallimni 'Arabi series—Kallimni 'Arabi Bishweesh, Kallimni 'Arabi Aktar, and Kallimni 'Arabi Mazboot—acclaimed as one of the most successful series of Egyptian colloquial Arabic course books for adult learners of Arabic worldwide. The course combines authentic everyday cultural content, comprehensive grammar, and real-life functional language. It follows the guidelines for teaching and learning Arabic of the American Council for Teaching Foreign Languages (ACTFL) and therefore covers the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, with particular emphasis on speaking, structure, and vocabulary. This course seeks to develop both fluency and accuracy in Arabic through a topic-based syllabus. Interesting topics have been chosen to provide maximum opportunities for speaking and discussion, promoting both linguistic and communicative skills.
Methodology: Students using this book will be able to:
Communicate fluently, accurately and effectively in Arabic, conversing on a variety of different topics in formal and informal settings from both concrete and abstract perspectives.

Course Length The material of this course provides 80 to 100 hours of class instruction. In situations where more time is available, the teacher may use the section in each unit entitled More Culture and Chatting. To enhance the learning process the author also provides film clips, extracts from TV programs, real life interviews, field surveys by students, and a range of suggested social issues for discussion. The teacher therefore has a wide range of materials that can be used and is able to extend or shorten the course according to the needs and preferences of the students.
