You may find some great resources for teaching Arabic through video and song on this website from Spain: http://mumkin.es/.The site, completely in Arabic, provides videos and music videos and the complete transcript of the lyrics and spoken text from the videos. A great tool for integrating authentic materials into any lesson, with much of the teacher prep work already done.
