* Explicitly address common areas of difficulty for Arabic speakers: This might include articles (a/an/the), verb tenses (especially the continuous tenses which don't have a direct equivalent in Arabic), word order, and prepositions.
* Use clear and simple language: Avoid books with overly complex grammatical terminology.
* Include plenty of examples and exercises: Practice is crucial.
* Have a focus on spoken English: Since conversational fluency is often a goal, a book that integrates spoken English practice is valuable.
While finding a book specifically *designed* for Arabic speakers is less common, you can look for these features in general beginner grammar books:
* "English Grammar in Use" by Raymond Murphy: This is a very popular and highly-regarded series. The Elementary level book might be a good starting point. Its clear explanations and plentiful exercises are generally well-received. While not tailored to Arabic speakers specifically, its straightforward approach makes it accessible.
* "Essential Grammar in Use" by Raymond Murphy: This is a simplified version of the above, ideal for absolute beginners.
* Books from reputable publishers like Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, and Macmillan: These publishers produce many high-quality grammar books, often with accompanying workbooks and audio materials. Look for their beginner-level offerings.
Important Consideration: Supplement any grammar book with a good English course or teacher. A structured learning environment provides feedback and context that a book alone cannot offer.
Instead of focusing on finding a book explicitly mentioning Arabic speakers, prioritize finding a book with the characteristics mentioned above, then supplement it with resources that specifically address the common challenges Arabic speakers face when learning English (e.g., online resources, tutoring). Many online resources focus on these specific challenges, making them useful complements to a grammar book.
