Arabic Exercise Book Abdallah Nacereddine

These Multiple-Choice exercises for testing vocabulary and grammar skills accompany the Fundamental Arabic Textbook and the Dialogues Textbook I: Words of Everyday Use. The book consists of three parts: a) The exercises (128 exercises); b) The corrections (512 sentences); c) A lexicon of the terms used in the exercises (670 entries). The grammar references are taken from A New Approach to Teaching Arabic Grammar. Bloomington, IN: AuthorHouse, 2009. The three parts of the book are distinct but could be used simultaneously: first, by doing the exercise; then checking the correction, and, if necessary, by looking up in the lexicon a word or several words contained in the exercise for the meaning and/or the right pronunciation. Abdallah Nacereddine taught Arabic at the United Nations in Geneva for over twenty-two years, while directing his own Institute for Arabic Language Teaching in Geneva, Lausanne, Bern, and Zurich. He led Arabic language courses at the League of Arab States and in conjunction with the Arab-Swiss Chamber of Commerce and recently taught at the International Labour Office. His teaching materials are the result of this experience and have been thoroughly tested in class. He is the author, in particular, of Fundamental Arabic Textbook (2nd ed., 2011) and A New Approach to Teaching Arabic Grammar (2nd ed., 2010).
