أَبْنَائِي التَّلَامِيذُ يُسْعِدُنَا أَنْ نُقَدِّمَ إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَابَ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ الَّذِي رَاعَيْنَا فِيهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ مُوَاكِبًا لِعَصْرِ تِكْنُولُوجِيَا الْمَعْلُومَاتِ وَالِاتِّصَالَاتِ، وَمُخْتَلِفِ أَلْوَانِ الْوَسَائِطِ التِّكْنُولُوجِيَّةِ فِي عَمَلِيَّةِ التَّعَلُّمِ وَالتَّعْلِيمِ، كَمَا أَنَّهُ يَعْكِسُ أَهْدَافَ ثَوْرَتَيْ ٢٥ يَنَايِر، ٣٠ يُونِيُو.

Dear students, we are pleased to present this Arabic language textbook. We have ensured it keeps pace with the era of information and communication technology, incorporating various digital media into the learning process, while reflecting the goals of the January 25 and June 30 revolutions.

لَقَدْ بَنَى هَذَا الْكِتَابُ عَلَي مَنْهَجِيَّةٍ عِلْمِيَّةٍ تَأْخُذُ فِي اعْتِبَارِهَا مَجْمُوعَةً مِنَ الْأُسُسِ:

This book is built upon a scientific methodology that considers several key foundations:

الْمَدْخَلُ الْمُسْتَخْدَمُ فِي بِنَاءِ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ هُوَ الْمَدْخَلُ الْكُلِّيُّ فِي تَعْلِيمِ وَتَعَلُّمِ اللُّغَاتِ، وَهُوَ الْمَدْخَلُ الَّذِي يُدَرِّبُ الْمُتَعَلِّمِينَ عَلَى مَهَارَاتِ اللُّغَةِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ - الِاسْتِمَاعُ، وَالتَّحَدُّثُ، وَالْقِرَاءَةُ، وَالْكِتَابَةُ - بِطَرِيقَةٍ مُتَكَامِلَةٍ مِنْ خِلَالِ كُلِّ دَرْسٍ وَكُلِّ مَوْقِفٍ.

The approach used here is a holistic one for teaching and learning languages. It trains students in the four core skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—in an integrated manner throughout every lesson and situation.

لَقَدْ رُوعِيَ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ أَنْ يُدَرِّبَ أَبْنَاءَنَا عَلَى التَّأَمُّلِ وَالتَّسَاؤُلِ وَالتَّفْكِيرِ، وَالتَّذَوُّقِ، وَأَنْ يُنَمِّيَ لَدَيْهِمُ الْخَيَالَ الْمُبْدِعَ، وَتَصَوُّرَ الْوَاقِعِ الِافْتِرَاضِيِّ لِلْمُسْتَقْبَلِ.

We have designed this book to train our students in contemplation, questioning, critical thinking, and appreciation, while fostering creative imagination and the ability to envision the future.

لِذَلِكَ حَرَصَ هَذَا الْكِتَابُ عَلَى تَنْمِيَةِ قُدُرَاتِ أَبْنَائِنَا مِنْ خِلَالِ الْخُمَاسِيَّةِ الذَّهَبِيَّةِ فِي عَمَلِيَّةِ التَّعْلِيمِ وَالتَّعَلُّمِ، أَلَا وَهِيَ: اسْتَمِعْ ثُمَّ تَحَدَّثْ انْظُرْ وَتَأَمَّلْ، اسْأَلْ وَنَاقِشْ، اقْرَأْ وَفَكِّرْ، اكْتُبْ وَعَبِّرْ.

To that end, this book focuses on developing our students' abilities through a golden pentad of learning: Listen and speak; look and contemplate; ask and discuss; read and think; write and express.

لَقَدْ حَاوَلْنَا فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ أَنْ نَعْقِدَ نَوْعًا مِنَ الْمُقَارَبَةِ الْمَعْرِفِيَّةِ، وَالصِّلَاتِ الْوِدِّيَّةِ بَيْنَ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ، وَبَيْنَ الْعُلُومِ الْكَوْنِيَّةِ، كَالْعُلُومِ الْحَيَوِيَّةِ، وَالْفِيزْيَائِيَّةِ وَالِاجْتِمَاعِيَّةِ وَالْفَنِّيَّةِ وَغَيْرِهَا؛ لِتَرْسَخَ فِي نُفُوسِ أَبْنَائِنَا أَنَّ اللُّغَةَ الْعَرَبِيَّةَ لُغَةُ حَيَاةٍ، بَلْ هِيَ لُغَةُ الْحَيَاةِ؛ فَاللُّغَةُ الْعَرَبِيَّةُ كَرِيمَةٌ كَرَمَ النَّهْرِ، سَخِيَّةٌ سَخَاءَ النَّدَى وَالْمَطَرِ، تَجُودُ لِكُلِّ عَاشِقٍ وَتَفِيضُ لِكُلِّ مُرِيدٍ، فَتَمْنَحُهُ أَسْرَارَهَا، فَاتِحَةً خَزَائِنَهَا وَمِنْ سِحْرِهَا مَنَحَتْهُ وَزَادَتْهُ.

We have sought to bridge the gap between the Arabic language and various fields of knowledge, such as the biological, physical, social, and fine arts, to instill in our students the understanding that Arabic is not just a language of life, but the very language of life itself. Arabic is as generous as a river and as bountiful as dew and rain; it overflows for every seeker, sharing its secrets and opening its treasuries to those who pursue it.

لَقَدْ حَاوَلْنَا - بِقَدْرِ الْإِمْكَانِ - أَنْ نَضَعَ شُرُوحًا مُوجَزَةً لِلنُّصُوصِ، وَفِكَرًا يَتِمُّ مُنَاقَشَتُهُ مِنْ خِلَالِ الِاسْتِمَاعِ وَالتَّحَدُّثِ وَالتَّسَاؤُلِ وَالْمُنَاقَشَةِ وَالتَّعَلُّمِ الذَّاتِيِّ؛ وَبِذَلِكَ حَوَّلْنَا الْمَوْقِفَ التَّعْلِيمِيَّ مِنْ مَوْقِفٍ يَعْتَمِدُ عَلَى التَّلْقِينِ إِلَى مَوْقِفٍ يَعْتَمِدُ عَلَى النَّشَاطِ وَالتَّفَاعُلِ، وَالتَّفْكِيرِ وَحَلِّ الْمُشْكِلَاتِ.

We have endeavored, as much as possible, to provide concise explanations for the texts, along with ideas for exploration through listening, speaking, questioning, discussion, and self-directed learning. In doing so, we have shifted the classroom dynamic from one based on rote memorization to one centered on activity, interaction, critical thinking, and problem-solving.

وَبِمَا أَنَّ اللُّغَةَ هِيَ الرَّحِمُ الَّذِي يَصْنَعُ الْفِكْرَ؛ فَقَدْ عُنِيَ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ بِالْقِيَمِ الْأَخْلَاقِيَّةِ وَالسُّلُوكِيَّاتِ الْحَضَارِيَّةِ الَّتِي تَتَّسِقُ مَعَ رُؤْيَةِ الْمُجْتَمَعِ الْعَرَبِيِّ لِلْكَوْنِ وَالْإِنْسَانِ وَالْحَيَاةِ.

Since language is the womb of thought, this book emphasizes the moral values and civilized behaviors that align with Arab society's vision of the universe, humanity, and life.

وَيُصَاحِبُ الْكِتَابَ أَنْشِطَةٌ وَتَدْرِيبَاتٌ لِتَشْجِيعِ الطَّالِبِ عَلَى تَطْبِيقِ مَا تَعَلَّمَهُ فِي الدُّرُوسِ مِنْ مَهَارَاتٍ.

The book is accompanied by activities and exercises that encourage students to apply the skills they have learned.

وَتَقُومُ أَنْشِطَةُ الْكِتَابِ عَلَى الْبَحْثِ وَالْمُنَاقَشَةِ وَالتَّعَلُّمِ الذَّاتِيِّ وَالتَّفَاعُلِ الْفِكْرِيِّ وَاللَّفْظِيِّ وَالتَّعَلُّمِ التَّعَاوُنِيِّ وَحَلِّ الْمُشْكِلَاتِ وَتَنْمِيَةِ مَهَارَاتِ التَّفْكِيرِ وَمَهَارَاتِ الْحَيَاةِ وَتَتَنَوَّعُ الْأَنْشِطَةُ مَا بَيْنَ أَنْشِطَةٍ فَرْدِيَّةٍ وَجَمَاعِيَّةٍ لِتَشْجِيعِ الطَّالِبِ عَلَى الِابْتِكَارِ.

These activities are based on research, discussion, self-learning, intellectual and verbal interaction, cooperative learning, and problem-solving, while developing both thinking and life skills. They range from individual to group tasks to encourage student innovation.

نَرْجُو مِنَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ هَذَا الْعَمَلَ خَالِصًا لِوَجْهِهِ.

We pray that God accepts this work and makes it purely for His sake.
