Horizons in the Arabic Language Textbook: Level 3 الآفاق في اللغة العربية كتاب الطالب
Level 3 in the Afaq series builds upon the foundations laid in previous levels. Students are taught to form sentences using appropriate vocabulary. There is continuing practice with word formation. The past and present tenses are focused on and the student is taught to distinguish between different grammatical forms. Now greater emphasis is placed on sentence formation and conversational Arabic where alphabetical knowledge is reinforced and nunation (tanween) is introduced. Conversational skills are further developed using a broader range of vocabulary. Writing skills are focused upon, and Islamic poetry, hadith, and some surahs are studied. A workbook accompanies the textbook in order to enhance comprehension and writing skills. This is a substantial workbook as students need plenty of practice at this stage of language study. The tenses which are introduced in the textbook are covered, as well as masculine and feminine nouns and other grammatical concepts. Workbooks are printed
