Ahlan Wa Sahlan (دليل المدرس)

Ahlan wa Sahlan: Functional Modern Standard Arabic for Intermediate Learners: Instructor’s Handbook by Mahdi Alosh can be used by anyone who is an Arabic teacher or would like to become one, whether Ahlan wa Sahlan is used in the classroom or not. It includes tips on teaching from how to create the right kind of atmosphere in the classroom to specific drills used with Ahlan wa Sahlan. The example drills in the book can be generally applied to any language-learning textbook.

Although this book is best used in conjunction with Ahlan wa Sahlan, it doesn’t have to be. It is best used if read from front to back, particularly the first 49 pages. Starting on page 50, drills specific to Ahlan wa Sahlan begin. They are concrete examples of the teaching philosophy espoused in the rest of that particular textbook. A PDF is available for free from the Yale Press website.
