The term “NEW ARABIC COURSE FOR ENGLISH SPEAKING STUDENTS BOOK A” refers to an Arabic language learning series designed for non-native speakers, often published in multiple parts. However, there are two distinct popular series that fit this description, and “Book A” might be used for the beginning level of a multi-volume set.

The most famous and widely recognized course is the one originally taught at the Islamic University of Madinah.

1. Madinah Arabic Course (by Dr. V. Abdur Rahim)

This is the most likely reference for a serious “Arabic Course for English-Speaking Students.” The series is often referred to as the Duruus al-Lughah al-Arabiyyah li Ghayr al-Naatiqiina bihaa (Arabic Language Lessons for Non-Arabic Speakers).

“Book 1” (or sometimes referred to as the foundational level) is the starting point.

• Primary Goal: To enable students to competently use and understand Classical and Quranic Arabic.
• Methodology: It employs a highly structural and applied grammar approach. Lessons are built around conversations that illustrate specific grammatical patterns, which are then reinforced through exercises.
• Content Focus: It introduces essential vocabulary and grammatical rules necessary to understand the structure of the Arabic language, with a heavy emphasis on terms used in the Quran and Sunnah (Prophetic Tradition).
• Format: It is concise, with lessons gradually building upon each other to cover the essential Arabic grammar rules without excessive memorization, presenting Arabic as a living language with examples from everyday use and Islamic texts.

2. New Arabic Course Series (by Aslam Maqbool/Others)

There is also a separate series titled “New Arabic Course” (sometimes extending to 8 or 10 books) that may use “Book A” or “Part A” for its initial volume.

• Primary Goal: This series is also designed for non-Arab learners and aims to build competency in both modern and classical Arabic.
• Methodology: It focuses on making the material informative and accommodating to the needs of English-speaking students by providing a systematic explanation of grammar after each lesson’s text.
• Features: It includes:
  • Vocabulary with meanings for difficult words.
  • Bilingual (Arabic-English) explanations for important grammatical points.
  • Various exercises, including fill-in-the-blanks, verbal conjugation, and translation between Arabic and English.
