"The Jusuur Arabic Language Program is an entry-level textbook program designed for students with no experience learning Arabic and, often, no experience with language learning in general. While existing textbooks (including Al-Kitaab) are designed for university-level courses meeting 4-5 times per week, Jusuur is for learners progressing at a more measured pace and with fewer contact hours, such as students in high school, community college, or less intense college classes. Each Jusuur textbook is designed for one academic year of use. After completing Jusuur 1, the Alphabet Workbook, and Jusuur 2 (i.e. after two years of instruction), students will be in the novice-high to intermediate-low range of proficiency. Thematically based, developmentally appropriate, and properly paced to suit learners at the secondary and post-secondary levels, the book would be the first to teach these student groups communicatively, following sociolinguistic principles. Integrating Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and colloquial Jordanian (a form of Levantine), students learn to communicate in Arabic from the very beginning about topics important to their daily lives. Further, teachers are provided with extensive supporting resources, substantially freeing up their time so that they can focus on teaching, not material preparation"--
