Additional text
"Media Arabic: Journalistic Discourse for Advanced Students of Arabic provides teachers and learners of Arabic at the higher levels of language acquisition with an excellent syllabus for use in academic programs of study. It also serves as a model for the preparation of further modules and syllabi that will obviously be needed as interest in the Arabic-speaking world continues and as the countries, nations, and regions involved plot their own courses through the inevitable processes of change and adaptation to factors both local and global."
Roger Allen, Professor Emeritus of Arabic and Comparative Literature, University of Pennsylvania, USA
