Description: |
This 4-page backgrounder gives a broad overview of Arabic for the non-Arabic speaker. It offers a history of the language (placing it in the context of Semitic languages), describes written vs. spoken Arabic as mediums of communication, explains the root and pattern system, and suggests classroom activities and questions based on the information provided. |
| Editorial Board Review: |
This could be an essay assigned on the first day of class to students of beginning Arabic. It could also be used as a good introduction to the Arabic language for the general public. |
