Overview
The Routledge Introduction to Qur'anic Arabic is an innovative language course designed for students interested in acquiring a foundation in Qur'anic and Classical Arabic. Focused on enhancing comprehension and vocabulary acquisition, the book contains forty lessons designed to be covered in about forty hours of classroom instruction. Starting with the shorter suuras of the Qur'an, such as alfaatiHa and those of the Juz' 'Amma, it utilises their recurring vocabulary and grammatical structures to build a stable linguistic foundation for learners before moving on to more challenging and longer suuras such as Yaasiin, Maryam and Yuusuf. Although the book is primarily designed for classroom use, the similar vocabulary and structures of the short suuras, the accompanying audio recordings, and the activities found throughout the book will facilitate the acquisition of a solid foundation in the most commonly used words and structures of the Qur'an even for those learners not acquainted with its language. The only prerequisite is knowledge of the Arabic writing system. The audio material, which is available on the Routledge website, helps learners improve their pronunciation of individual sounds and develop their skills to syllabify Arabic words and phrases correctly in order to approximate that of native speakers. Written by an experienced teacher, The Routledge Introduction to Qur'anic Arabic is an essential guide for instructors, students and anyone interested in developing their knowledge of Qur'anic Arabic.
