This book is the first part of the beginners' curriculum. The book contains 12 units, revision and an Arabic–English glossary. Another glossary for verbs is also included. The first two units deal with Arabic phonemes: consonants and vowels. The third unit includes some reading and writing skills. The remaining units consolidated lessons dealing with different syntactic and textual issues such as singular, dual, plurals, demonstrative pronouns, etc. The author integrates educational linguistics and social linguistics as he introduces phonemes using the holistic approach. Phonemes are presented in words illustrated by pictures and not isolated, in order to enhance the link between the written and spoken word on the one hand, and its pictorial representation on the other. Then the author moves on to context, where he provides vocabulary and structures in meaningful sentences.
Methodology The book is designed to follow the audio-lingual approach. The author does not use another language as a medium, but instead uses the direct approach in which vocabulary is presented using different strategies, such as presenting them as illustrated by pictures, or using antonyms and synonyms. He also paves the way for using the communicative approach as learners practice speaking with new vocabulary in meaningful context from daily life.
Book Design The book is designed to be suitable for non-Arabic speakers, ASOL (Arabic for Speakers of Other Languages), as it is printed in large font with bold colors.
Companion CD:The CD covers the same content of the book which uses short and simple lessons and dialogues in the Arabic language. It covers all the basics, with plenty of repetition and practice; it utilizes the book’s same texts, images and colors. The interactive application included is a useful and interesting self-study tool.
CD requirements: Works on all windows versions which are Arabic-enabled; but best for Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7.
The Audio files (it’s wav path) can be played via RealPlayer and Windows Media Player
How to use: After inserting the CD, the application displaying book lessons can be started directly from the CD by clicking on “NooN1.” The second option is to install this application through the setup icon and follow the instructions during setup.
يمثل هذا الكتاب الجزء الأول من منهاج المبتدئين. وقد جاء الكتاب في اثنتي عشرة وحدة دراسية، ومراجعة، ومعجم ثنائي اللغة (عربي وإنجليزي) للكلمات الواردة في الكتاب بالعربية، ومعجم ثنائي آخر للأفعال الواردة في الكتاب. وقد استغرقت الوحدتان الأولى والثانية الفونيمات الرئيسة للعربية: الصوامت والصوائت، واشتملت الوحدة الثالثة على مهارات كتابية وقرائية أخرى كالألف المقصورة والألف الممدودة واللام الشمسية والقمرية والتنوين...إلخ. وأما الوحدات المتبقية فجاءت على هيئة دروس متكاملة تتناول قضايا نحوية وأسلوبية مختلفة، منها: المفرد والمثنى والجمع بأنواعه، وأسماء الإشارة، وياء النسبة، ومفاتيح التواصل والتحاور، والتحايا، وأفراد العائلة، وتصريف الأفعال وإسنادها للضمائر...... إلخ. وقد استند في ترتيبه للدروس على شكل الحرف؛ فجعل تشابه الشكل منهجاً في تقديم الحروف. و يظهر أن المؤلّف قد صدر في كتابه عن رؤى لسانية وأخرى تربوية تمزج بين اللسانيات التربوية واللسانيات الاجتماعية؛ فقد انطلق من رؤية كلية لتقديم الحروف / الأصوات، فلم تجئ معزولة إنما جاءت على هيئة كلمات مشفوعة بصور لتعزيز الربط بين المنطوق والمكتوب والصورة النفسية لدلالة الكلمة. ثم ينتقل بعد ذلك إلى السياق الكلي في تقديم المفردات والتراكيب في جمل مفيدة تطول وتقصر إلى أن تنتهي بالنص الكامل، وهو تَدَرُّجٌ محسوب يتوافق وبناءَ المتعلمين النفسي من حيث الاعتماد على إلفه واعتياده للغة العربية. طريقة الكتاب ومنهجه وقد صُمِّم الكتاب وبني ليدرَّس وفقاً للطريقة السمعية الشفوية، وهي طريقة البنيويين، وهي تعتمد على الابتداء بمهارة التحدث وتعزيزها بمهارة الكتابة بالدربة والمران و بناء التمرينات التي تعزز المهارة المطلوب إنجازها. ويبدو واضحاً أنَّ المؤلّف قد صَدَر عن الطريقة المباشرة؛ فلم يتخذ لغة وسيطة لتعليم العربية، وأظهر ما يكون ذلك في الجمل والمفردات، فهو يقدِّم المفردات بأساليب متعددة، فمرة يقدمها بالصورة، ومرة يشرحها بالمرادِف، ومرة يقدمها بضدها. ولكنه يفسح المجال أيضاً لاستثمار الطريقة التواصلية حين يمارس الطلبة مهارة التحدث واستخدام المفردات الجديدة في جمل وحوارات من واقعهم المعيش، وهو واقع يعيشونه في بلد عربي وباللغة العربية. وإذا كان الكتاب قد خُصِّص لمهارات القراءة والكتابة فإنه لم يغفل وحدة اللغة وبنيتها المتماسكة، ففي الكتاب من المهارات النحوية والصرفية والأسلوبية و المقامِيَّة ما يكفُلُ للمتعلم تحقيق كفاية تواصلية مناسبة بالعربية. الإخراج الفني: أُخرِج الكتاب على هيئة مناسبة للمتعلمين من الناطقين بغير العربية؛ فقد طُبِعَ بخط كبير يساعد على تَبَيُّن الحروف وتفريقها الواحد من الآخر، وبلونين هما الأسود الغامق والأحمر؛ وقد استعين بالأحمر ليكون مُعيناً بَصَرياً دالاً على موطِن الأهمية في الكلمة أو الجملة. أما الصور فجاءت باللونين الأبيض والأسود، ولكنها صور واضحة دالَّة، وجاء غلافه من الورق المُقَوَّى الذي يحفظ له ديمومة واستمرارية مع كثرة الاستعمال. أما في النسخة الإلكترونية فقد احتفظ الكتاب بألوانه المتعددة، وكذلك الصور، ما أضفى عليه جمالاً وجاذبية، حيث أن هذا البرنامج يوفر مادّة ممتعة للتعلّم الذاتي وتقويم ذلك التّعلّم.

New series introduces the non-Arab speaking student to the Arabic language.

This book is intended for students who are at the intermediate level, with an acceptable level of Arabic skills. The purpose of this book is to establish linguistic aptitude to qualify the student to use the Arabic language in a wider form in terms of reading, writing, listening and conversation – skills that will empower the student to communicate effectively with native Arabic speakers.
This book employs phonic skills in a pattern known to users of this concept. These skills are illustrated in a mixture of mental and well-acknowledged techniques, exploring the relationship between language and culture, and the relationship between language structure and social structure.
One of the main focuses of this book is the use of “context,” where text is the primary mode of presentation. Vocabulary on the other hand, is explained in the context it was delivered in the text. This, however, does not prevent the curriculum from elaborating on teaching the multiple meanings a word can have. Vocabulary is introduced right from the start, to help the student recognize as many vocabulary words as possible. A special learning technique is used to teach the student not to spend excessive time trying to understand the meaning of a word. This technique is explored using articles pertaining to culture and society, as well as short stories and poems.
Once the student becomes familiar with the text, he is then directed to conversation techniques; concepts that are written in the text are utilized for conversation. Next comes the focus on listening, followed by emphasis on writing. The topics for these areas are also derived from the text as a core.
Using proper grammar for non-Arabic speakers can be challenging for many reasons; one of these reasons is that most other books do not utilize writing methods that differentiate between the needs of native Arabic and non-Arabic speakers. Through this understanding, the authors of this work have derived a unique method that can be utilized in teaching grammar to non-natives. More importantly, the authors use simple grammar to help improve Arabic communication skills for non-Arabic speakers.
Companion CD: Consists of audio files (MP3s) which can be played via RealPlayer and Windows Media Player.
System Requirements: Windows 2000/ME/XP/Vista/Windows 7

Part one contains 10 lessons, which deal with daily life issues to
help students learn about Arab society and adapt to it.
Every lesson starts with a central text, which has been written in
a conversational style. The texts contain many dialogues in order
to train students and encourage them to use the language. Each
text is followed by a list of new words that appeared in the text as
well as other words related to the subject matter. This is followed
by comprehension questions and exercises that target different
skills. A conversation exercise is available at the end of every
lesson and requires the instructor to practice with the students on
using the terms learned in the lesson and previous ones to have
a conversation in Arabic. Instructors are advised to use pictures
where the content of the pictures contains answers to the questions
the instructor asks.
Some lessons contain Arab and Islamic cultural elements so that
students would learn aspects of Arab culture in addition to language.
The rules of grammar and conjugation appear in functional form in the
texts but little focus has been made on them or their details because I
believe that language is learned through practice first and not simply
through learning rules of grammar without a functional dimension.
The purpose of the grammar presentation in the book is to teach students the major patterns of simple Arabic sentences without burdening them with the rules of conjugation at this early level. It is more important now for students to learn how to arrange words into a correct sentence.
also the book briefly mentioned some constructs to be dealt with in
more detail in subsequent levels. My focus in this level was mainlyon building the linguistic skills needed for daily use because that
would be of more benefit to students than simply explaining rules
of grammars that students might have difficulty retaining. Students
at the beginner level find no practical use to memorizing rules of
grammar.
The grammar sections in this level focused mainly on
the conjugation of verbs with separate pronouns because verbs are
the spine of the Arabic language. The book’s lessons also focus on
the basic rules of formulating a grammatically-correct sentence that
would be combined into a grammatically-correct paragraphs and
texts.
The purpose is ultimately to familiarize students with the basic
rules of grammar and conjugation.
The book contains four appendixes:
Appendix 1 & 2:
they contains a glossary of words used in
the texts and exercises of the lessons. The words are organized
in the order in which they appear in the text – not in alphabetical
order so as to be easy to follow for students. I thought of
translating the glossary into several languages in addition to
English (as I did with the first edition six years ago). I was
surprised and delighted when my students rushed to the task.
The glossary was thus translated into major global languages:
English, French, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese, as well as
into Japanese and Korean. The translation was proofread by
advanced Arabic language students who were native speakers
of the languages they revised.
Appendix 3:
It contains the conjugation of verbs in three
tenses (past, present, and imperative) with separate pronouns.
Most of the verbs were mentioned in the lessons while therest were selected because they are related closely to daily
activities. The purpose is to build up students’ lexicon, give
them the confidence to use the language and encourage them
to continue studying it (which is the primary purpose in my
opinion).
Appendix 4:
This appendix is dedicated to singular and
plural forms. It contains the singular and plural forms of nouns
mentioned in the lessons. The reason I dedicated an appendix
to plural forms is the absence of a rule that students can use
to form irregular plurals, which are common and heavily-used
in Arabic. Foreign students – even at advanced stages – have
difficulty forming irregular plural nouns.
Appendix 5:
A general introduction to the Islamic and
Gregorian calendars as well as brief profiles of Arab countries,
including capitals and currencies.
Appendix 6:
Political map of the Arab world including the
capitals and important cities.
Appendix 7:
Contains the singular and plural forms of the
human body parts, which were mentioned previously.
Appendix 8:
List Arabic grammar Vocabularies along with
English translation.
Appendix 9:
The English translations of all the questions in
this book along with the page number they are located in.
The enclosed Audio CD contains:
A slow and clear audio recording of the alphabet with adequate translation in
English.
The main lessons are recorded clearly. The last mark has been deliberately
ignored in most cases when reading the lessons so it will not confuse the students
and disturb their minds with long and short vowels, tanween mark and noon and
al-fateh tanween and the dual.
“Tanween” mark is pronounced on some words, even though it is not written
on those words for linguistic reasons.
The instructions at the beginning of each exercise are translated in English.
The questions and answers to the “Test Your Knowledge” section are recorded.
Translations of the newly introduced vocabulary words are offered at the end of
each lesson.
Simple linguistic rules and grammar explanations have been included
throughout the book to equip readers with a better understanding of the language.
