بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ.

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

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى خَيْرِ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ أَجْمَعِينَ.

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the best of all of Allah's creation.

وَبَعْدُ.

To proceed.

الْأَبْنَاءُ الْأَعِزَّاءُ الطُّلَّابُ وَالطَّالِبَاتُ: يَسْعَدُنَا أَنْ نُقَدِّمَ لَكُمُ كِتَابَ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ، وَالَّذِي نَهْدِفُ مِنْ خِلَالِهِ تَنْمِيَةَ مَهَارَاتِ اللُّغَةِ الْأَرْبَعِ الْقِرَاءَةِ وَالْكِتَابَةِ وَالِاسْتِمَاعِ وَالتَّحَدُّثِ، وَفْقًا لِأَوْزَانِهَا النِّسْبِيَّةِ الْمُقَرَّرَةِ فِي وَثِيقَةِ الْمَعَايِيرِ طِبْقًا لِكُلِّ مُسْتَوًى، وَفِي إِطَارِ الْوَقْتِ الْمُحَدَّدِ لَهَا فِي الْجَدْوَلِ الزَّمَنِيِّ لِلْمَادَّةِ.

Dear students, both male and female: We are pleased to present to you the Arabic language book, through which we aim to develop the four language skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—according to their relative weights established in the standards document for each level, and within the time frame specified for them in the subject's schedule.

وَكَانَ مِنَ الضَّرُورَةِ بِمَكَانٍ وَضْعُ الْإِطَارِ الْعَامِّ لِلْمَنْهَجِ التَّعْلِيمِيِّ الْوَطَنِيِّ لِدَوْلَةِ قَطَرَ بِالْإِضَافَةِ إِلَى وَثِيقَةِ مَعَايِيرِ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ نُصْبَ أَعْيُنِنَا، وَتَقْدِيمُ مَصَادِرَ تَعْلِيمِيَّةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ لِلْمُتَعَلِّمِينَ تَنْهَلُ مِنْ هَاتَيْنِ الْوَثِيقَتَيْنِ الْمَرْجِعِيَّتَيْنِ، وَتَسْتَمِدُّ مِنْهُمَا مَرْجِعِيَّتَهَا، وَمِنَ الْوَثَائِقِ الْوَطَنِيَّةِ الْأُخْرَى الْمُهِمَّةِ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ، تِلْكَ الَّتِي تَتَكَامَلُ جَمِيعُهَا؛ لِتَضَعَ التَّعْلِيمَ عَلَى أَعْتَابِ نَقْلَةٍ نَوْعِيَّةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ تُوَاكِبُ التَّطَوُّرَاتِ الْعَالَمِيَّةَ.

It was essential to keep the General Framework for the National Curriculum of the State of Qatar, in addition to the Arabic Language Standards document, in our sights, and to provide new educational resources for learners that draw from these two reference documents, derive their authority from them, and from other important national documents in this field, all of which integrate to place education on the threshold of a new qualitative shift that keeps pace with global developments.

وَاعْتَمَدَ هَذَا الْكِتَابُ الْوَحْدَةَ التَّعْلِيمِيَّةَ مَادَّةً لِلتَّنْظِيمِ وَالتَّرْتِيبِ، لِتَحْقِيقِ النِّتَاجَاتِ الْمُتَوَقَّعَةِ، وَحَرَصْنَا فِيهِ عَلَى تَكَامُلِ الْمَهَارَاتِ الْأَرْبَعِ؛ الْقِرَاءَةِ وَالْكِتَابَةِ وَالِاسْتِمَاعِ وَالتَّحَدُّثِ، وَعَلَى رَبْطٍ مَنْطِقِيٍّ بَيْنَ النُّصُوصِ وَتَحْقِيقِ النِّتَاجَاتِ الْمُتَوَقَّعَةِ مِنْ خِلَالِ أَنْشِطَةٍ تَفَاعُلِيَّةٍ تَعَاوُنِيَّةٍ، وَمَا يَتَّصِلُ بِتَفْعِيلِ الْأَدَاءِ الْقِرَائِيِّ وَالرَّصِيدِ اللُّغَوِيِّ وَالْفَهْمِ وَالِاسْتِيعَابِ وَالْأَنْمَاطِ اللُّغَوِيَّةِ، وَفِي هَذَا الصَّدَدِ انْطَلَقَتِ الْوَحْدَةُ مِنْ نَصِّ الْقِرَاءَةِ لِتَنْمِيَةِ مَهَارَاتِ الْفَهْمِ مُتَّجِهًا نَحْوَ تَحْقِيقِ التَّكَامُلِ مَعَ سَائِرِ الْمَهَارَاتِ الْأُخْرَى.

This book adopts the educational unit as the basis for organization and arrangement to achieve the expected outcomes. We have ensured the integration of the four skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—and a logical connection between the texts and the achievement of the expected outcomes through interactive, collaborative activities, as well as what relates to activating reading performance, linguistic repertoire, comprehension, and linguistic patterns. In this regard, the unit starts from the reading text to develop comprehension skills, moving towards achieving integration with all other skills.

وَعُولِجَتِ الْمَهَارَاتُ مِنْ خِلَالِ أَنْشِطَةٍ تَفَاعُلِيَّةٍ مُتَعَدِّدَةٍ وَمُتَنَوِّعَةٍ، فِي إِطَارٍ يُحَقِّقُ التَّكَامُلَ الْفَعَّالَ بَيْنَ الْمَهَارَاتِ؛ فَقَدْ يَسْمَحُ لِلنَّشَاطِ الْوَاحِدِ فِي بَعْضِ الْأَحْيَانِ بِمُعَالَجَةِ عِدَّةِ مَهَارَاتٍ؛ كَمَا يَسْمَحُ بِأَنْشِطَةٍ جُزْئِيَّةٍ لِمُعَالَجَةِ جَوَانِبَ مِنْ مَهَارَةٍ مَا فِي ظِلِّ أَنْشِطَةٍ أَوْسَعَ لِمُعَالَجَةِ مَهَارَةٍ أُخْرَى.

The skills were addressed through multiple and varied interactive activities within a framework that achieves effective integration between the skills; a single activity may sometimes allow for addressing several skills, just as it allows for partial activities to address aspects of a certain skill within the context of broader activities to address another skill.

وَحَرَصْنَا عَلَى اخْتِيَارِ النُّصُوصِ الَّتِي تُرَسِّخُ قِيَمَ وَتَقَالِيدَ الْمُجْتَمَعِ الْقَطَرِيِّ، وَالْمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَى تُرَاثِهِ وَالَّتِي تُشَجِّعُ الطُّلَّابَ عَلَى الْإِبْدَاعِ وَالِابْتِكَارِ وَتَنْمِيَةِ قُدُرَاتِهِمْ، وَغَرْسِ رُوحِ الِانْتِمَاءِ وَالْمُوَاطَنَةِ.

We have been keen to select texts that consolidate the values and traditions of the Qatari society, preserve its heritage, encourage students to be creative and innovative, develop their abilities, and instill a spirit of belonging and citizenship.

وَإِنَّنَا إِذْ نُقَدِّمُ لِأَبْنَائِنَا هَذَا الْكِتَابَ نَرْجُو مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَنْفَعَهُمْ بِمَا فِيهِ، وَأَنْ يُحَقِّقَ أَمَلَنَا فِي تَكْوِينِ جِيلٍ فَخُورٍ بِلُغَتِهِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ، قَادِرٍ عَلَى اسْتِخْدَامِ اللُّغَةِ فِي مَوَاقِفِ التَّوَاصُلِ بِكَفَاءَةٍ، مُعْتَزٍّ بِهَوِيَّتِهِ الْإِسْلَامِيَّةِ.

As we present this book to our children, we hope to Allah Almighty that it will benefit them, and that it will fulfill our hope of forming a generation proud of its Arabic language, capable of using the language in communication situations efficiently, and proud of its Islamic identity.
