Title: Textbook Review: Formal Spoken Arabic
Body: From: http://linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-1594.html This course is a book comprising one volume (215 pp. incl. glossaries and appendices) and a CD with 95 MP3 files. This reprinted version has been produced to provide updated formats of the audio material. The course was developed from a 6-week intensive (FAST) course for US Foreign Service personnel, at whom it is primarily targeted. The choice of vocabulary taught and settings of dialogues largely reflects this. The course aims to teach what the authors term Formal Spoken Arabic, a 'hybrid' of Modern Standard Arabic and (Levantine) colloquial Arabic. The aim is to provide learners with enough Arabic to cope with communicating with educated Levantine speakers, taking the learner from a proficiency rating of 0 to at least 1+ (limited working proficiency). It is not so much a language course as a 'survival crash course' (the authors themselves state that it is 'not strictly a language course', but 'designed to make life more manageable in the host country'). The book aims to provide "realistic roleplay, listening comprehension, expansion drills, and the like" to develop linguistic creativity and build communicative competence in spoken Arabic. Throughout the book, a system of transliteration intended to be consistent and user-friendly is relied on, with only the sample dialogue of each lesson being given in Arabic script. Additionally, the authors aim to provide where appropriate "cultural notes on topics such as bartering and price haggling...or confronting a hostile authority".
