Arabic Grammar in Action: Proficiency-based and Contextualized Activities: القواعد المفعلة

The book is a collection of instructional materials that target important Arabic Grammatical constructs needed to sustain performance at specific proficiency levels. The book moves the learner from the monotonous mechanical drills used in most Arabic textbooks to creative types of materials and activities that develop the functional ability. In addition to communicative activities, these materials include activities derived from popular culture (common expressions, popular proverbs, graffiti), audio/visual materials (news broadcasts, TV shows, talk shows), and language art creative tasks. The book makes grammar the launching pad where other language skills and culture are introduced and taught, to the contrary of traditional approaches where grammar is an off branch of other skills.
