Product Description
I think we sould teach a little grammar and a lot of vocabulary through topic-based and later content-based methods.We have to smuggle grammar into our lessons. My opinion is that the best way to do it is by playing games. Children are having fun and they are learning grammar.The old-fashioned grammar lessons are boring and children do not like them. At this level, they cannot understand rules and translate sentences the entire lesson. I think the best method is one kind of golden mean. It is useful if we use the topic-based teaching method because children are motivated and we can teach vocabulary efficiently but we have to teach a little grammar as well. I know teaching and learning grammar is a very hard job but if we can do it unnoticeably, it can be efficient and enjoyable. When children are playing, they can learn useful rules. My opinion is that games are excellent tools because they make an impression on pupils with all kind of cerebral activity. In addition, I believe the most important thing is that grammar is difficult and important so the best way to teach and practise it is by the using of games. ... Read more

a very good grammar summary
this book is essentially a summary of arabic grammar, with particular attention paid to verbs but lots of detail on other subjects as well.time and again i've consulted this book, as it contains concise and thorough descriptions of most aspects of arabic grammar.its focus is completely on *modern* standard arabic and as such it contains clear descriptions of modern usages (including things such as "short" vs. "full" pronunciation, colloquial numerals and other important subjects that don't appear in most other grammar summaries [e.g. "A New Arabic Grammar", Haywood/Nahmad]), and carefully distinguishes usages that are technically part of the language but in fact obsolete or rarely used today.even the verb tables that fill much of the book are interesting because [among other things] the author chooses the most useful verbs and roots to exemplify the various possible types and includes lists of all the other common verbs, nouns, etc. made from the same root.my biggest complaint has to do with what's omitted.in particular, the "verb-based" focus means that the usage of verbs gets complete coverage, but other topics are skimped on.there is a real need for a concise but *complete* summary of the grammar of the *modern* literary language.another complaint is with the coverage of pronunciation -- there is a lot of good info on "full" vs. "short" pronunciation and on other topics [e.g. i didn't know that form VII and VIII verbs are never stressed on the first syllable in literary], but it's scattered throughout.it needs to be gathered together and augmented with the "informal" pronunciation [no case endings before pronoun suffixes, -ak/ik/uh instead of -ka/ki/hu, etc.], which this book denies even exists, but which must exist since it appears in "teach yourself arabic" and other places. ...
