The books
Language learning for Arabic-speaking students where the texts are based on the students' everyday environment in Sweden while being politically and religiously neutral. The series consists of six books that apply the educational methods used in Swedish schools regarding language learning.
This textbook for pupils with Arabic as their mother tongue fills an important need for suitable material for primary and middle school children. The book contains everyday words and Modern Standard Arabic, something that Arabic-speaking children do not of course get at home as the spoken language at home is not the language used in writing. This book thus gives children the opportunity to develop their skills in expressing themselves correctly in writing in Arabic.
