This volume is part of a revision of the 1968 edition of "Elementary Modern Standard Arabic." It consists of 30 lessons covering the basic grammatical structures of Modern Standard Arabic, and presupposes a knowledge of the phonological and writing systems. The first priority is the comprehension of written materials, but other skills taught include: listening comprehension, writing, and speaking. The grammatical material is graded for difficulty. Lessons 1-5 contain a basic text, followed by vocabulary and a section of grammar and drills. Lessons 6-30 have in addition comprehension passages and general drills. An Arabic-English glossary completes the volume. (Author/AM)
