The American University in Cairo Press Advanced Arabic Through Discussion: 16
Book SynopsisAdvanced Arabic through Discussion is a classroom-tested Advanced Arabic course. It uses an inquiry-based approach to challenge advanced learners of Arabic by engaging them in thought-provoking discussions about social, ethical, and legal issues related to advertising, censorship, dress-codes, environment, rap music, extreme sports, GMOs, and other topics. Drawing on her long experience as an Arabic instructor, Nevenka Korica Sullivan has organized the book into sixteen chapters, each accompanied by audio recordings of all reading and listening texts. While exploring each issue, learners are guided to expand their vocabulary, acquire complex structures, and discover the systematic relationships between language form, function, and meaning. The course is designed to create a lively, student-centered classroom where interaction is both the goal and the means of language study; it also can be successfully used with a tutor or for independent study.Trade Review"For those of you who teach Arabic through debate or who want a nice guide and structure for your high intermediate and advanced classes, this book by Nevenka Korica Sullivan is amazing."—Noha Aboulmagd Forster, University of ChicagoTable of Contents1.

Focus Publishing/R Pullins & Co First Greek Course
Book SynopsisFirst Greek Course is based on the Greek textbook, written by W.H.D. Rouse and revised for modern audiences by Anne Mahoney. This text is modeled on the "direct method" of language learning, which is nearly an immersion program where as much of the work of teaching and learning is conducted in the native language. The key advantage to such an approach is that students are actively involved in the language. They learn not only to read it, but to speak and write in it. Rouse''s Greek Boym the Greek reader, is a companion that carefully follows the progression of this text.

Hackett Publishing Co, Inc A Student Handbook of Greek and English Grammar
Book SynopsisThe study of classical languages by earlier generations of English-speaking students was greatly facilitated by the study of English grammar in the schools, a tradition now out of favor but one that emphasized precisely the concepts, terms, and constructions needed for the study of Greek and Latin.Recent classical language textbooks, while presuming little or no grammatical sophistication on the part of their students, often provide little more by way of remediation than definitions of grammatical terminology.A Student Handbook of Greek and English Grammar offers a student-friendly comparative exposition of English and ancient Greek grammatical principles that will prove a valuable supplement to a wide range of beginning Greek textbooks as well as a handy reference for those continuing on to upper-level courses.Trade Review. . . oriented toward teaching the basic concepts of Greek grammar (concepts, not the grammar itself) and at the same time exemplifying each concept with both English and Greek examples written side by side. . . . the presentation of the concept of 'subjunctive' is really excellent, with very good examples of what remains of it in English. Also the concept of 'aspect,' with all the implications that it will have for infinitives and imperatives, is brilliantly presented, as all of us know that one of our main problems is making students differentiate between aspect and tense. This presentation makes the difference clear. . . . students will no doubt benefit from this excellent book. --Juan Coderch, University of St. Andrews, in Digressus
