Considering that contemporary prose texts, in addition to the educational aspect, more than any time, reflects the culture and beliefs of a community and influences them; a book that is introduced as the reference for the curriculum, in addition to proper structure and content, should be in line with the latest literary theories and approaches, so it could fulfill its literary mission. For this reason, this research, using the method of rereading the work in both quantitative and qualitative analyses, has tried to see whether the book entitled ‘Malameh Al-Nathr Al-Hadith & Fonouneh’ by Omar Daqaq, Mohammad NajibTalawy, and MoradAb-AlrahmanMabrouk has enough potential to be used as a reference for the curriculum of Arabic language and literature. The results show that, in spite of its advantages, such as a completely legible font, ideal layout and technical performance of some authors of this book, it has many quantitative and qualitative disadvantages that if it is used as a reference for the curriculum, it would be very weak and incomplete. Some of the quantitative disadvantages of the book are very little use of punctuation marks and not having index, no list of references and the bibliography of the history of literature at the end of the book. Besides, some of the qualitative disadvantages of the book are not being reprinted after 18 years, thematic and content deficiencies of the titles, irregularity and incoherence of the text, inadequate citation, lack of up-to-date and valid resources and also defective presentation of the titles and wrong inference.

The production of purposive educational packages which are based on learning principles and whose constitutes enjoy decent coherence and coordination are essential in reforming and optimizing educational systems and structures of any society. The importance of this endeavor becomes even more evident when it comes to teaching skills, including language silks, and preparing such educational materials creates many problems and demands investing a lot of energy and time. An acute shortage of educational materials to teach the Arabic language, either its skills or content, plus the characteristics of the Persian-speaking learners of Arabic, which shares a lot in common with Persian, have reduced the effectiveness of the existing teaching practices. Although attempts were made in the last two decades to improve the situation, seen mainly in the form of textbooks and other materials published by universities and educational institutes to teach Arabic, studying the problems and finding solutions to emolliate the situation still constitutes an important research topic. This paper evaluates one such textbook published in the recent past and offers suggestions to improve the production of the textbooks and materials to teach Arabic.
