BARCODE FOR PRICES:

The NEW ARABIC COURSE FOR ENGLISH SPEAKING STUDENTS BOOK 4 (often published as Madinah Arabic Reader Book 4) is one of the continuing volumes after the core three-book series by Dr. V. Abdur Rahim.

While the first three books form the foundational curriculum taught at the Islamic University of Madinah, this and subsequent volumes (up to Book 8 in some editions) serve as supplementary readers and workbooks to further solidify and expand the student’s knowledge of classical and Qur’anic Arabic.

Key Features and Content of Book 4

Book 4 is designed to reinforce the complex grammar and morphology introduced in Book 3 and to expand the student’s vocabulary through structured reading and conversation.

1. Structure and Purpose

• Applied Grammar: Like the core books, Book 4 teaches essential language skills through applied grammar. Each lesson consists of a conversation or reading passage that illustrates specific linguistic patterns.
• Vocabulary Expansion: The vocabulary intentionally includes a blend of classical/Qur’anic Arabic and expressions common in Modern Standard Arabic (Fus’ha).
• Reinforcement: It contains a variety of helpful exercises to ensure the student understands and masters the grammatical concepts, especially those related to advanced verb forms and weak verbs.

2. Focus on Classical Arabic

The overall goal of this series is to enable students to acquire a knowledge of Arabic in the classical structural form, preparing them to read and benefit from scholarly pursuits such as Qur’anic exegeses, Hadith, and classical literature.

3. Target Audience

The book is aimed at intermediate-level students who have completed the initial three volumes. It is often used in schools to prepare students for international examinations like the University of London (UK) GCE O-Level and A-Level Arabic examinations.

The video MADINAH ARABIC BOOK 4: Conversation Lesson 1 gives an in-depth lesson on the first chapter of the Madinah Arabic Book 4, showing the conversational application of the grammar.
