“The student hears, sees and reads Arabic, and learning is kept close to an authentic linguistic and cultural experience.” — ADFL Bulletin

"Keep[s] advanced students engaged. It bursts with provocative articles, stories, poems, and opinion pieces by some of the leading Arab intellectuals and literary figures of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries." —American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences

With New Video Material!

The final and most advanced volume of the Al-Kitaab Arabic textbook program, Part Three is intended to help learners reach a superior level of proficiency by expanding vocabulary and providing paragraph-level activities in reading, writing, and speaking. More than thirty authentic texts by writers from across the Arab world address a range of political, social, religious, and literary themes and represent a range of genres, styles, and periods. Although the book focuses primarily on modern Arabic, classical Arabic texts have been incorporated into some of the lessons to introduce students to the continuity of the language throughout its history.

Like previous books in the series, Part Three presents vocabulary-building drills and contextualized explanations of grammar, with exercises designed to push students toward independent learning.

The original text and audio are now bound together in one volume along with new video material on DVD that continues the story of Maha and Khalid in Egyptian Arabic, making Part Three an invaluable textbook and reader.
