This page is a working sample unit from a set of unpublished materials that are still in development. These web-based materials allow Moroccan colloquial Arabic to be taught in courses that use the Al‑Kitaab textbook series. This single-unit sample is meant to showcase some of the design choices that inform the materials; it is not intended for classroom use, nor is it representative of a final product. Further inquiries can be directed to Mike Turner. Thank you!
