Book Description
‘Arabiyyat al-Naas (Part Three): An Advanced Course in Arabic builds further on the groundbreaking approach used in Part One and Part Two of the series. It integrates Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and spoken Levantine in a way specially tailored to the needs of advanced students. Levantine Arabic strongly features in spoken discussions of MSA materials, reflecting authentic practice by native speakers. However, the overall ratio of MSA – the form employed for reading, writing and formal speaking in the Arab world – to Levantine has been increased, supporting students’ mounting need for MSA as they progress further in their education.
This textbook is designed to take learners from the Advanced Low to the Advanced High level according to the ACTFL criteria, and from level B2 to C1 on the CEFR proficiency scales.
Features include:
- 18 theme-based units covering topics such as Arab minorities; education; religion; love and marriage; the Arab woman; economics; politics; military matters; and the environment
- thorough coverage of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills with clear grammar explanations and lessons structured to provide opportunities for further practice
- humorous, realistic dialogues reflecting educated speech among Arabs, to build up strong and practical communication skills
- attention to issues highly relevant to modern Arab society, encouraging active engagement with the course and further exploration of the themes
- a rich variety of reading passages from contemporary sources such as Al Jazeera as well as excerpts from the classic works One Thousand and One Nights and Kalila wa Dimna
- an extensive range of stimulating exercises and activities, including crossword puzzles, root-and-pattern identification exercises, passage completions, and free compositions
Developed by a dynamic author team and tested over a number of years at Cornell University, ‘Arabiyyat al-Naas (Part Three) is an essential resource for advanced-level students of Arabic. While primarily designed for classroom use, the accessibility of the course also renders it highly suitable for independent study.
This volume is the final installment of a pioneering three-part series of Arabic textbooks which together provide a complete three-year undergraduate language program.
Munther Younes
Munther Younes is a prolific author and poet who has gained worldwide recognition for his exceptional literary works. He was born in the city of Amman, Jordan, in 1974 and spent most of his early years in the Middle East. He has since lived in several countries, including the United States, where he currently resides.
Younes began writing at a young age, and his early poems were published in various local newspapers and magazines. He graduated from the University of Jordan with a degree in English literature and went on to pursue graduate studies in the United States. He holds a Ph.D. in comparative literature from Indiana University and is currently a professor of Arabic literature at Georgetown University.
Younes is widely regarded as one of the leading voices in contemporary Arabic poetry, and his work has been translated into several languages. He has published numerous collections of poetry, including "Roses in the Desert," "The Fourth Cord," and "The Bullet Collection." His poetry is known for its rich imagery, evocative language, and profound insights into the human condition.
In addition to his poetry, Younes is also a prolific writer of fiction and non-fiction. His first novel, "Silence and the Silenced," was published in 2012 and was a finalist for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction. The novel explores the themes of memory, identity, and silence through the story of a Palestinian family living in the aftermath of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
Younes's non-fiction work includes "Palestinian Literature and Film in Postcolonial Feminist Perspective," which examines the intersection of gender, nationalism, and cultural production in Palestine. He is also the editor of several anthologies of Arabic literature, including "Mosaic of Words," which features the work of contemporary Arab writers.
Younes's work has received numerous accolades, including the prestigious Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature, which he was awarded in 2014 for his collection of poems, "The Martyr." The Naguib Mahfouz Medal is one of the most prestigious literary awards in the Arab world, and Younes is one of only a few Jordanian writers to have received the honor.
In addition to his literary work, Younes is also a dedicated scholar and educator. He has given lectures and taught courses on Arabic literature and culture at universities around the world, and he is widely respected for his expertise in the field. His contributions to Arabic literature and culture have made him one of the most important voices of his generation, and his work continues to inspire and challenge readers and scholars alike.
