Raji M. Rammuny's Business Arabic, Intermediate Level is intended for intermediate learners who have completed at least two regular years of Arabic study. It contains twenty-one lessons, in addition to a general introduction that includes useful information on Arab countries. The lessons are arranged by situational topics pertinent to travel, social, and business interactions. Each lesson is supported by audio and video cassettes of about two to five minutes each. The set of dialogues employs a specific form of spoken standard Arabic that is flexible enough to be understood throughout the Arab world. Learners who successfully complete this part will be able to perform well in a variety of situations, both social and business. The cultural notes and questions for discussion in each lesson familiarize the learners with Arab social customs and prepare them to start examining one's own culture and that of the Arab world. The volume expects students to have control of basic vocabulary and grammatical structures that are typically covered in the first two years of Arabic instruction. Grammatical notes are given for review purposes, where necessary.

This book includes twenty units aimed at introducing the Arabic sound and writing system to beginning students in the most economical and effective method. Part One consists of units which introduce the new sounds and letters to be taught and thereafter focus through pronunciation, reading, and writing exercises on solidifying their recognition with the students. Part Two contains fifteen brief exchanges and lists of commonly used vocabulary (greetings, introductions, polite requests, invitations, telling time, foods, drinks, professions, family members, clothes). The primary purpose of including basic communicative practice and vocabularly lists is to create a climate for enjoyable and successful learning while students are learning Arabic sounds and letters. The language functions and expressions needed for each function are presented in both transcription and Arabic for a reference guide outside of class. Students are instructed to rely on English transcription until the entire system of Arabic sounds and letters is completed. At the end of the book, students will be ready to read in Arabic all these materials and the additional situational dialogues based on them and to act them out in class. The teacher's manual includes a suggested methodology to guide students and teachers while using the material and to re-inforce correct pronunciation of the new sounds and words in each lesson.
