The third part of Arabic Language Lessons for Non-Arabic Speakers is a book to teach the Arabic language, and it is concerned with grammar, morphology, vocabulary, and style. Teachers should keep these ideas in mind while explaining and should use the following steps:

1. Introduce the lesson without referencing the book.
2. Read the lesson, drawing students’ attention to the repetition of previous material, explaining new material, and asking students questions to ensure that they understood it.
3. Put students into groups.
4. Give students time to complete all of the oral exercises, and let them complete the same exercises in written format outside of class.
