Advanced 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.
