Miftahu'l Arabiyye education set was prepared on the basis of four basic skills of the language and the books were divided accordingly. Speaking and listening skills are approached in one book and reading and writing skills are approached in another one. While presenting the skills, the target skill is shown with separate subtopics in the books. Apart from that, grammatical skills are covered in Reading and Writing books. In the education set, fluent Arabic was used. Dialectical expressions are not included in general, some expressions that are very common in conjunction are rarely included Instead of the rarely used fluent expression, the rule of giving dialect word which is widely used was taken as basis.
Why is not Miftahu’l Arabiyyle Arabic Education Set in the form of a workbook and a textbook?
In sets prepared separately in the form of a course and a workbook, the workbooks contain only the practice topics, so the exercises are ignored by the students. Instead, it was preferred to have the exercises immediately after the topic in the education set. The absence of a workbook in the education set does not mean that there are no exercises at all. On the contrary, the education set is rich on kinds of exercise contents.
