A dynamic and creative approach to teaching spoken
Arabic in the classroom for the Upper Intermediate level by the
author of Media Arabic
Upper-Intermediate Arabic through Discussion is a
...classroom-tested course that uses an inquiry-based approach to
challenge intermediate learners of Arabic by engaging them in
thought-provoking discussions about topics of general interest.
Each topic is framed in the form of a question, such as "How can we
learn a new language fast?" or" Why are some sports more popular
than others?," to motivate students to immediately start searching
for an answer. Drawing on her long experience as an Arabic
instructor, Nevenka Korica Sullivan has organized the book into
twenty chapters, each one devoted to a single theme. While
exploring each topic, learners are guided to expand their
vocabulary, acquire more complex structures, and discover systemic
relationships between language form, function, and meaning. A rich
assortment of exercises and activities ensures that learners make
palpable progress in advancing their language skills. The course is
designed to create a lively learner-centered classroom where
interaction between participants is both the goal and the means of
language study; it can also be successfully used with a tutor or
for independent study.
