I would recommend from my experience teaching Arabic at elementary
and middle school, text book (Uhibu Alarabiyyah) you can order them
from WWW.Noorart.com, they are based on communicative approach with
pictures and tapes to help students review and listen at home. Also
they are developed for non native speakers, rich in culture, I
recommend that you examine them, they are not the best, however the
best that available for now.

It will be difficult to find a book that does everything you want to
do with the students. The book is usually one vehicle for teaching.
Mahdi's book is an excellent one but it is more geared for college
students. I use Alif baa and by the end of the first semester my
students can communicate using basic language functions - not quite
like a first year French student, but they have meaningful dialogues.
I introduce those to them. I don;t wait for the book to do so. I also
add a great deal of culture from various sources. I like Alif Baa and
Alkitaab and so do my students. There are some glitches with the
DVD's but we make up for that in class.
If I had to recommend a textbook for HS students, I would choose
AlifBaa & Alkitab.

Dear Abdelkader:
I have developed a Beginning Programmed Introduction Course to teach
Arabic Sounds and Letters. It consists of two parts, Textbook and
Manual. Part One includes 20 units aimed at introducing the Arabic and
writing system to beginning students of Arabic in the most effective
method, using common words illustrated by pictures. The Manual contains
15 brief exchanges and lists of y useful commonly used vocabulary
(greetings, introductions, polite requests, invitations, telling time,
foods, drinks, professions, family members, clothes, Arab countries and
capitals, etc.) The primary purpose of including basic communicative
practice and vocabulary lists is to create a climate for enjoyable and
successful learning while students are learning Arabic sounds and
letters. At the end of the course, students will be ready to read all
the communicative activities presented to them orally and additional
situational dialogues based on the lexical items they have learned and
act them out in class.
The book is accompanied by DVD to guide students while using the
material and to reinforce correct pronunciation of the new sounds and
letters in each unit and how we produce them.
The book is available through University of Michigan Distribution Office
at the following address:
Client Distribution Service
1094 Flex Drive
Jackson, TN 38301
Phone: (800) 343-4499
Fax: (800) 351-5073
Email: orderentry at cdsbooks.com
This book can be used by young learners and adults.

The Arab Academy (www.arabacademy.com ) has workbooks specially
created for
High School Students in the US along with interactive courses. Those
courses were initially created for Fairfax County, Virginia, but
since then
have been used in other schools as well. They are composed of Levels
1, 2
and 3 where each level is composed of 4 or 5 units. Those levels are
preceded by Level 0, which introduces the Arabic alphabet. For more
information on our course offerings, visit:
http://www.arabacademy.com/register/hs
Our texts are free of religious material and are heavily culture
oriented.
Each lesson starts with an introduction on culture that relates to
the topic
of the lesson. We follow a communicative approach and our material is
designed to suit students 13-18 years of age.
I would be happy to send you any further information you need.
Best regards,
Sanaa Ghanem (www.arabacademy.com/ghanem )
