How to use textbook correlations?
Step 1: Download the correlation to your textbook
We thank Prof. Ashley Bisutti (Professor of Arabic, College of William and Mary) for the correlation below.
Can't find your textbook?
If your textbook is not listed, you can download our grammar correlations. Use alongside any Arabic 1 or Arabic 2 textbook used in college Arabic class.
We are always updating our list. We welcome instructors’ feedback on new textbooks to include.
Step 2: Find the chapter for your lesson
Check the list above to find the correlation list corresponding to your textbook.
The list correlates grammatical terms covered in your textbook with the relevant chapters in English Grammar for Students of Arabic.
Correlations list the chapters (and line numbers) to read before the lesson in your Arabic textbook.
If your textbook is not listed, you can download our universal correlation, or use the detailed index at the end of the study guide.
Step 3: Come prepared by reading a few pages before class
Students come ready to participate
Before class, students read the relevant chapter in the O&H Study Guide to learn about the terms covered in their upcoming lesson.
Instructors are relieved of teaching grammar
In preparation for class, select the grammar covered in each lesson, and integrate the corresponding chapters into your syllabus. Students should read the relevant chapters before coming to class.
Both gain valuable class-time to focus on communication skills
In class, instructors will be able to rely on a common grammatical vocabulary (verb, noun, direct object, etc.) and devote class time to teaching Arabic and developing communicative skills.
