Contemporary Business Arabic is a textbook for advanced learners of Arabic in a content-based course focused on business competencies. There are six chapter-modules, which can be taught in any sequence, on the key topics: Islamic banking, geography, employment, fuel and energy, e-commerce, and tourism. The only other book available on this topic was published in 2000 and is very dated in topic and approach.
Esseesy aims to teach students how to conduct themselves in a professional setting, which includes a deeper exploration of Arab culture and Arab business culture, as well as fostering proficiency in speaking and presentation skills. This book has been built to develop higher-order skills--a requirement for achieving the superior level. Students will encounter many authentic texts from corporation websites, etc., as well as video interviews with professionals on the chapter topics; will learn strategies that contribute to increased language proficiency efficiently; and will learn how to appropriately respond in Arab business contexts, such as developing a resume, responding to a job ad, and analyzing energy and fuel markets.
