Subject:Materials Suggestions (English Speakers)

Welcome to England, Inès.

The following materials have been used to teach English speakers in  
Britain with great success:

- If the students have more than five hours per week of class time  
and can do a further five hours per week of homework, they should use  
Al-Kitaab series, which comes with instructional DVDs to accompany  
the books.

Alif Baa, for teaching the alphabet and basic conversation (leaning  
towards Egyptian Arabic)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alif-Baa-DVDs-Introduction-Letters/dp/ 
1589011023/ref=pd_bowtega_1/026-6495132-6788426? 
ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1188578446&sr=1-1

Al-Kitaab 1 will taken them from Beginners to Intermediate level
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Al-Kitaab-Fii-Allum-Al-Arabiyya/dp/158901104X

This course is on the pricier side but well worth it, as long as you  
have the time to go through it all.

- If the students have fewer than six hours' worth of class time,  
then they should use Mastering Arabic series.

Mastering Arabic, which rapidly takes students through the alphabet,  
basic grammar and core vocabulary to take them to Lower Intermediate  
Level

0230013120/ref=pd_bowtega_1/026-6495132-6788426? 
ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1188578599&sr=1-1

Mastering Arabic Script, which is the best book for teaching  
handwriting in the ruq`a script
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mastering-Arabic-Script-Handwriting-Languages/ 
dp/1403941106/ref=sr_1_4/026-6495132-6788426? 
ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1188578599&sr=1-4

Mastering Arabic Grammar, the friendliest Arabic grammar textbook,  
though not comprehensive
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mastering-Arabic-Grammar-Palgrave-Languages/ 
dp/1403941092/ref=pd_bowtega_2/026-6495132-6788426? 
ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1188578599&sr=1-2

Build Your Arabic Vocabulary, which supplements any Arabic course by  
providing word lists and exercises (arranged by topic)  to enrich  
students' vocabulary
