بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ.

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى الْمَبْعُوثِ رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَمَنْ سَارَ عَلَى دَرْبِهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ، وَبَعْدُ.

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May peace and blessings be upon the one sent as a mercy to all creation, his family, his companions, and all who follow his path until the Day of Judgment.

فَهَذَا كِتَابُ (لُغَتُنَا الْجَمِيلَةُ) لِطَلَبَةِ الصَّفِّ الثَّانِي الْأَسَاسِيِّ فِي دَوْلَةِ فِلَسْطِينَ، وَهُوَ الْكِتَابُ الثَّانِي فِي سِلْسِلَةِ كُتُبِ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ.

This book, Our Beautiful Language, is intended for second-grade students in the State of Palestine and serves as the second volume in the Arabic language series.

وَقَدْ جَاءَ تَرْجَمَةً لِلْإِطَارِ الْعَامِّ لِلْمَنَاهِجِ وَالْخُطُوطِ الْعَرِيضَةِ لِمِنْهَاجِ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَآدَابِهَا الَّذِي أَنْجَزَهُ الْفَرِيقُ الْوَطَنِيُّ.

It translates the general framework and broad outlines of the Arabic language and literature curriculum established by the national team.

إِنَّ الْهَدَفَ الرَّئِيسَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ تَعْلِيمِ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ هُوَ تَمْكِينُ الطَّلَبَةِ مِنْ تَوْظِيفِ اللُّغَةِ بِفَعَّالِيَّةٍ فِي عَمَلِيَّاتِ الِاتِّصَالِ وَالتَّوَاصُلِ فِي الْمَوَاقِفِ الْحَيَاتِيَّةِ الْمُتَعَدِّدَةِ.

The primary goal of teaching Arabic is to enable students to use the language effectively for communication in various real-life situations.

وَقَدْ بُنِيَ الْكِتَابُ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الدُّرُوسِ لَا الْوَحَدَاتِ، حَيْثُ يُمَثِّلُ الْوَاحِدُ مِنْهَا وَحْدَةً مُتَكَامِلَةً.

The book is structured around individual lessons rather than units, with each lesson functioning as a complete, integrated unit.

وَيَتِمُّ فِيهِ تَنْظِيمُ الْخِبْرَاتِ التَّعْلِيمِيَّةِ لِتَكُونَ فِي إِطَارٍ مُتَكَامِلٍ وَلَيْسَ فِي أَجْزَاءٍ مُنْفَصِلَةٍ.

Educational experiences are organized within this integrated framework rather than presented as separate parts.

وَفِيهِ أَيْضًا يَتِمُّ عَرْضُ مَجْمُوعَةٍ مِنَ الْأَفْكَارِ وَالْمَفَاهِيمِ وَالْمَعَارِفِ وَالْحَقَائِقِ الْمُتَرَابِطَةِ، وَيَتَدَرَّبُ الطَّلَبَةُ عَلَى مَهَارَاتٍ وَظِيفِيَّةٍ مُحَدَّدَةٍ وَيَحْتَسِبُونَ بَعْضَ الْقِيَمِ وَالِاتِّجَاهَاتِ وَالْمَعَارِفِ الْمُرْتَبِطَةِ بِالْخِبْرَاتِ التَّعْلِيمِيَّةِ.

The book presents a collection of interconnected ideas, concepts, knowledge, and facts, while allowing students to practice specific functional skills and internalize values, attitudes, and knowledge related to their learning experiences.

وَلَمْ يُغْفِلِ الْكِتَابُ الْقِيَمَ الدِّينِيَّةَ، وَالْوَطَنِيَّةَ، وَالِاجْتِمَاعِيَّةَ، وَالْأُسَرِيَّةَ، وَالْإِنْسَانِيَّةَ.

The book incorporates religious, national, social, familial, and humanitarian values.

يَبْدَأُ الدَّرْسُ بِنَصِّ الِاسْتِمَاعِ وَهُوَ مَوْجُودٌ فِي دَلِيلِ الْمُعَلِّمِ، أَمَّا أَسْئِلَةُ النَّصِّ فَمَوْجُودَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ الطَّالِبِ.

Each lesson begins with a listening text found in the teacher's guide, while the corresponding questions are provided in the student's book.

وَمِنْ ثَمَّ، تُوجَدُ لَوْحَةٌ لِلْمُحَادَثَةِ تُحَاكِي دَرْسَ الْقِرَاءَةِ، وَقَدْ رُبِطَ دَرْسُ الْمُحَادَثَةِ بِالتَّعْبِيرِ الشَّفَوِيِّ.

A conversation panel follows, which mirrors the reading lesson and is linked to oral expression exercises.

وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بُنِيَ نَصُّ الْقِرَاءَةِ وَتَبِعَهُ نَوْعَانِ مِنَ الْأَسْئِلَةِ، وَهِيَ: نُجِيبُ شَفَوِيًّا وَنُفَكِّرُ، حَيْثُ إِنَّ أَسْئِلَةَ التَّفْكِيرِ أَسْئِلَةٌ غَيْرُ مُبَاشِرَةٍ تَسْتَدْعِي مَهَارَاتِ التَّفْكِيرِ الْعُلْيَا.

The reading text is followed by two types of questions: oral responses and critical thinking, the latter of which are indirect questions designed to elicit higher-order thinking skills.

أَمَّا التَّدْرِيبَاتُ، فَجَاءَتْ مُرْتَبِطَةً بِنَصِّ الْقِرَاءَةِ.

The exercises are directly linked to the reading text.

وَقَدْ أُولِيَتِ الْكِتَابَةُ أَهَمِّيَّةً خَاصَّةً، حَيْثُ اشْتَمَلَ الْكِتَابُ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَنْشِطَةٍ مُخْتَصَّةٍ بِالْكِتَابَةِ.

Writing is given special importance, with the book including three dedicated writing activities.

وَتَنَوَّعَ الْإِمْلَاءُ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَنْقُولِ وَالْمَنْظُورِ.

Dictation exercises in this book consist of both copied and prepared formats.

كَمَا اشْتَمَلَ الْكِتَابُ عَلَى أَنَاشِيدَ مُتَنَوِّعَةٍ بِعُنْوَانِ (نُغَنِّي)، جَاءَتْ مُرْتَبِطَةً بِنُصُوصِ الْقِرَاءَةِ.

The book also includes various chants under the title We Sing, which are linked to the reading texts.

إِنَّ الْمُعَلِّمَ هُوَ الْمِحْوَرُ الرَّئِيسُ فِي الْعَمَلِيَّةِ التَّعْلِيمِيَّةِ التَّعَلُّمِيَّةِ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُنَفِّذُ الْمِنْهَاجَ، وَيُطَبِّقُهُ فِي الْغُرْفَةِ الصَّفِّيَّةِ.

The teacher is the central figure in the teaching and learning process, responsible for implementing the curriculum in the classroom.

لِذَا، كُلُّنَا أَمَلٌ فِي أَنْ تُزَوِّدُونَا بِتَغْذِيَةٍ رَاجِعَةٍ لِلْكِتَابِ الْمَوْجُودِ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ، حَيْثُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الطَّبْعَةَ طَبْعَةٌ تَجْرِيبِيَّةٌ.

We hope you will provide us with feedback on this book, as this is an experimental edition.

وَنَحْنُ عَلَى يَقِينٍ أَنَّ تِلْكَ التَّغْذِيَةَ الرَّاجِعَةَ سَوْفَ تُغْنِي الْكِتَابَ، وَتُسَاهِمُ فِي تَطْوِيرِ مَهَارَاتِ أَطْفَالِنَا تَخْدِمُ الْمَصْلَحَةَ الْفُضْلَى لِأَطْفَالِنَا.

We are confident that your feedback will enrich the book and contribute to developing our children's skills, serving their best interests.

وَفَّقَكُمُ اللَّهُ لِمَا فِيهِ مَصْلَحَةُ الْوَطَنِ.

May Allah grant you success in all that serves the nation.
