Subject: Spoken Standard Arabic

I would like to announce the publication of a new book on teaching Spoken Standard Arabic.
 
Title:  
المَدْخَل إلى العَرَبِيَّة العَصْرِيَّة:  مُحادَثات بالعَرَبِيَّة الفَصيحَة
(Introduction to Spoken Standard Arabic-A conversation Course on DVD, Part 1).
 
Publisher: 
Yale University Press
 
Authors: 
Shukri Abed with Arwa Sawan
 
This textbook is designed to help beginning students of Arabic develop their oral communication skills. The target audience is those in the second and third semesters of college-level study (or the high-school equivalent). Early chapters of the book may also be used toward the end of the first semester with intensive preparation. Number of hours of instruction received per week and students’ general level of proficiency should be factored into an instructor’s decision about when to introduce this text. Mastery of the content of this volume would put students at the high- intermediate level (or even the low-advanced level) on the proficiency scale developed by the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).
 
Sincerely yours, 
Professor Shukri Abed
