Full Description
Headlines-print and broadcast-have gone global. As a result, news and information from authentic sources make a useful resource for foreign language learners. Advanced Media Arabic, Second Edition systematically introduces authentic texts and audio files from a wide variety of media sources. This textbook helps students develop analytical and translation skills in Arabic and expand their reading, writing, listening, and speaking capabilities. The very successful first edition has been updated in a variety of ways, including: new texts and audio for each module, including radio as well as TV materials; a new module on "The Language of Revolutions" and another on "Language and culture"; new and more extensive exercises; new audio and vocabulary lists; and updated color design for the interior. Each chapter provides important vocabulary; examples of language in context; exercises for reading and listening comprehension, writing, and translation; and a section for discussion and debate.
