Based on the latest teaching techniques, Yallā is a comprehensive introduction to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), helping students to acquire fluency and accuracy in the language. It is split into two volumes that support students as they advance through their understanding: the first for beginners, and the second for intermediate learners. The textbook focuses on the four major language skills – reading, listening, writing, and speaking – and emphasizes the development of effective learning strategies. Each chapter includes a wide selection of materials that introduce new vocabulary and grammar structures whilst reinforcing previous material. Communication-oriented activities such as role-playing and interviews enable accurate and productive language use, while writing is presented systematically and reflects real-life communication. Each volume also includes a grammar reference section, which makes assimilation easier by drawing on common points between the student's knowledge of English and of Arabic.
- Provides a range of supplementary web resources, including an Egyptian Arabic textbook, audio and video recordings, answer keys and mini-projects
- Includes a wide range of communication-oriented activities to encourage students to use the language and grammatical structures accurately and productively
- Integrates cultural content throughout both volumes, expanding students' knowledge of the wide range of contexts in which Modern Standard Arabic appears
Reviews & endorsements
'Yallā is a welcome book for beginning Arabic students. It does a great job of introducing MSA's alphabet letters, sounds and grammar fundamentals, focusing on short texts in Arabic. The material in this textbook sets solid foundations for both MSA and familiarity with Egyptian Arabic. It serves as a cultural resource to both sides of the Mediterranean.' Martin Isleem, Bucknell University
