Hi

Here is the table of contents of Backpak1. It is somewhat identical to the KSA edition Backpak Gold for fourth primay, first semester 32/1433 ,especially when it comes to scope and sequence, but obviously with some minor exclusions and/or additions that consider our uniqueness to make it look and sound more quintessentially Saudi! That means newly-introduced material is added, and previously-learned material in the original textbook is systematically recycled for the same cultural purpose
