Subject: Arabic credits by test query

[Please respond directly to requester.  I lost this message for two
months, so he may be surprised to hear from you.  I just found it
today--Dil]

I am currently attending classes in University of Texas at Arlington.
I am from Syria and my native language is Arabic.  I am required to
have foreign language hours to get my degree.  I was told that if I
can test for the Arabic (I am after all taking all of my classes in a
language that is foreign to me) at a school that offers it as a part
of the curriculum that I might be able to transfer those hours and
not need to take Spanish here. Is it possible to do this in your
program?  If it is, what do I need to do and about how much will it
cost?

Thank you for your response to my inquiry,

Subject: Indirect Speech Response

On indirect speech, I think that if the original is indirect, the
translation should be indirect. Translating from Arabic into English (whcih
is what I do), that means rendering "qaala innahu sa-....." as "He said that
he would..." I can't imagine a situation when it would be ok to switch it to
direct speech and first person: He said, "I will..." because it definitely
would be misleading, making it seem like a verbatim quote, rather than the
author's report of what the person said.

Of course, a translation can never be a "verbatim" quote, but we can be as
accurate as possible.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Indirect Speech Response

The difference in choice between direct and indirect quotation is highly
functional in hard news reports (c.f. for instance Waugh, L. (1995)
³Reported Speech in Journalistic Discourse: The Relation of Function and
Text². Text, 15, 1. and Zelizer, B. (1989) ³ ŒSaying¹ as collective
practice: Quoting and differential address in the news. Text, 9, 4.) and any
mix up between them could probably mean a mix up in the ideological stand of
the news institution or to put it mildly  in its policy.

However, the particular case which you ask about, i.e. the blurring of the
line between the newsmaker's own voice and that of the sources (secondary
and primary discourse, respectively) is a far reaching one. This case is
widely recognised in Critical Discourse Analytical writings (c.f. Bell, A.
(1991) The Language of News Media.  Oxford: Blackwell). Generally, it is
employed by the news editors to pass their opinion in a way that absolves
them from responsibility from what is being said.

My suggestion is that you translate it as it is in the original and leave it
for the editors of the news institution you are working for to adapt it to
the institution's policy (ideology).

I hope I have answered your question. If you have anything to discuss
regarding this translation task please do not hesitate to contact me.

Subject: come' suppletion (ta?aala) in the dialects query

Dear All,

I am working on suppletion in verb inflection (as in English go
PRESENT vs went Past) from a typological perspective. One type of
suppletion, shown by the data in my 152 language sample is suppletion
in the imperative as in Egyptian Cairene Arabic (the example is from
Mitchell, T. F. 1962. Colloquial Arabic: The Living Language of Egypt:
Teach Yourself Books. London: The English Universities Press Ltd.)

Perfect	1 singular	   ana geet	come (I came)
Imperative 2 masc singular ta??-aala	come!

I have similar data on imperative suppletion with 'go' in Moroccan
Arabic, and 'come' in Algerian Arabic. I would like to find out how
common, or not common, this phenomenon is in the remaining dialects of
Arabic which is why I am writing to this list. Essentially, I would
like to collect the paradigms of 'come/go' verbs in as many dialects
of Arabic as possible. Any pointers to literature relevant to this
subject would be greatly appreciated as well.

I will post a summary to the list if there is interest.

Thank you very much in advance!

Best wishes,
Ljuba

Sakhr OCR Expands Coverage

Popular OCR Adds Cyrillic Languages and Turkish



Washington, September 4, 2001- Sakhr Software, the world's foremost
developer and publisher of Arabic and bilingual software, has added
six new languages, improved speed, and a variety of new features to
its popular OCR program.

Digitek International, North American distributor of Sakhr software
products, has just released the expanded version of Sakhr's popular
OCR, Al-Qari Al-Aali, to local markets. The OCR, a quick and accurate
way to convert scanned text images back into manipulable text files,
has long been popular bucause of its unique capacity for high quality
handling of Arabic and Farsi.

Now, Sakhr adds Turkish to the program's repertoire. Document
management specialists can work with all Middle Eastern languages
through a single product. The addition of five Cyrillic languages
(Russian, Greek, Polish, Czech, and Hungarian) complete's Sakhr's
coverage of European languages as well. Al-Qari Al-Aali also
recognizes bilingual Arabic/English and Farsi/English documents in a
single pass.

Users of the Professional version of the Sakhr OCR have multifaceted
multilingual capabilities. Sakhr has raised the product's speed to
800 characters per second (cps) from earlier levels fo 500 cps. The
Personal Archive bonus packaged lets users organize OCR images in
structured and hierarchical folders. Sakhr has added automatic and
manual image correction, image noise reduction and image zooming.
Another helpful new feautre is the ability to doublecheck the file
you select against its image before OCRing the image.

With the capability of recognizing and converting to text scanned
images in 19 leading languages (as well as ASCII symbols), the
enhanced Sakhr OCR program is now, more than ever, an indispensable
tool for publishers, researchers, catalogers and managers of document
archives.

Thank you.

I will contact the TV station.  In the report the Sephardic Jewish man
referred to the holy books used in his synagogue and listed: the Torah,
Siddur, and the Qur'an.  When he showed the copy of the Qur'an it was in
Hebrew script, but it looks like Judaeo-Arabic  (at one point he referred to
his Qur'an "written in Hebrew language."  If there is a Qur'an in Hebrew
language I also want to get a copy of it.  Does anyone know where to buy it?

Thank you

Dear Ljuba:
As far as I know, for Tunisian Arabic this is the
paradigm:

Perfect 1sing. ana jit (I came)
Imperative 2sing. ija (come!); 2pl. ijaw

There are several manuals of Tunisian Arabic, thought
I can not give you right now any title. Good luck,

If you mean a translation of the Qur'an into Hebrew, Dvir used to
publish one.  (If you want to do your own net searches, try "Devir"
also.)  The next question is where to find Dvir.  It used to be in Tel
Aviv, probably on Rehov Nachmani.  However, I found no such thing
in a quick net search.  There seems to be one in Lod, and it may
be that it moved.

As to the translation, it's been 20 years or so since I saw it, and
remember nothing about it.  It was probably a very routine
translation into modern Hebrew.

I seem to remember that I saw a new copy of that edition for sale
rather recently, maybe even in the town where I live, so it seems
still to be in print.  Remind me by private email every few days, and
I'll either track down details of the book or of Dvir.

Good luck.
David.

ANNOUNCEMENT
CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD (CASA)

2002 Summer and Full-Year Programs

The Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA) is pleased to announce that
it will offer a limited number of fellowships for advanced Arabic
language study at the American University in Cairo for the 2002-2003
academic year.  .

Two types of CASA fellowships are available:

1) Summer-only fellowships: (June 9-July 25, 2002)
These fellowships allow students to participate in an intensive
seven-week summer language and culture program that includes 14
weekly hours of Egyptian Colloquial Arabic and 6 hours of Modern
Standard Arabic.

2) Full-Year fellowships: (June 9, 2001-2-June 1, 2003)
These fellowships provide intensive language and culture training in
both Egyptian Colloquial and Modern Standard Arabic for three
semesters (summer, fall and spring) and allow students in the spring
semester to take courses in Arabic in their respective areas of
specialization.

Successful applicants must be US citizens or Permanent Residents,
enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program and committed to a
career in Middle Eastern Studies, have had a minimum of two years of
college-level Arabic language study, and pass the CASA Selection exam
which will be administered to all applicants at a school in their
locality on Friday, February 2, 2002.  Please note that non-US
citizens and Permanent Residents are also welcome to apply to CASA,
and if accepted, may participate on a Pay-Your-Own-Way basis.

Those interested in applying to CASA may also wish to apply for a
Fulbright fellowship that would provide them with funding to
participate in CASA. A Fulbright fellowship would enable the student
to participate in CASA and provide a higher level of funding.
Fulbright fellowships have October deadlines; thus students must
submit their Fulbright fellowships well before they submit the CASA
application.  

For detailed descriptions of the CASA programs, or to download
application forms, please visit the CASA web site at

Hello:

Our university wants to install Arabic keyboard software on the lab
PC's, but it turns out that Microsoft essentially provides one
keyboard variant per country. Because of disk space, we will probably
be restricted to 1-2 keyboard variants for Arabic.

I'm not an Arabic speaker myself, so are there keyboards variants
which are more standard than others?

Any input would be appreciated. Replies can be made off list, and I
can summarize.

Thank you in advance.

I would advise using the Saudi keyboard as one of them if you are
planning on using Arabic-enabled applications. MS Office 2000 won't
detect spelling for Arabic text if you don't have (or have not
installed) the Saudi keyboard. Hopefully they've fixed this in Office
XP, but I haven't yet tried it out. That aside, all of the regional
keyboards I have used (Saudi, Lebanese, Egyptian, Syrian) have all had
the same layout as far as I can tell.

There are many Arabic keyboard in the market most of them come from
China and Taiwan. These keyboards support Engkish and Arabi, by the
way if you have Window (2 thousnads it alos support Arabic) Therefore
no need for special software for the keyboard. You may contact
:Celeron Company of P.C or you may consult Computer Company sites in
China or Taiwan or even in Arab countries.
Hopefully the above themes may help you.

United Nations Special Commission on Iraq = UNSCOM (English) => unsiikom
(Arabic)(as rendered in newspapers and magazines)

(former) Arabian American Oil Company = ARAMCO => Araamkoo

North Atlantic Treaty Organization => NATO = > naiitoo

These are some items that recently appeared, and there seem to be many
others, mostly relating to political, industrial, engineering, or
technological subjects.

Arabic printed media generally render the acronym in Arabic (followed by full
name and/or explanation of the referant term).

If your PC supports Arabic MS Word, I can send samples.

You might post your query also in the "help / ask a question" section of <

circulate there.

Hope this helps. Khair, in sha' Allah.

Zayed University, United Arab Emirates
Instructors, Arabic Language Center

Zayed University:
Zayed University is a new National university of the United Arab
Emirates.  Currently operating on campuses in the cities of Abu Dhabi
and Dubai, Zayed University enjoys the full support of the United
Arab Emirates government as it builds itself to top international
standards.  The University was founded in September 1998 upon the
admission of the first freshman class of 1,100 nonresidential women
students.  The mandate is to prepare Nationals, women and men alike,
for leadership roles in the future economic growth of the country.
English is the primary medium of instruction and administration and
Arabic plays a critical role.

The two founding campuses of Zayed University eventually will
comprise a student body of about 5,000 undergraduate students
studying in six colleges (the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business
Sciences, Communication and Media Sciences, Education, Family
Sciences and Information Systems).  The University will offer an
active program of research and public service and graduate programs
are planned.  Information technology supports all aspects of the
instructional program; all students own a laptop computer and campus
facilities are fully networked.  Physical facilities are generally
sufficient to meet current needs.  New campuses to be designed and
constructed within the next several years are planned for both
locations.

The University invites applications for Instructors of Arabic in the
Arabic Language Center.  Located administratively in the College of
Arts and Sciences, the Center will provide academic services for the
students of all Colleges of the University.  The purposes of the
Center are:

1.  To serve as a major student and faculty support facility,
providing instruction and advice to students for
improvement of their written and oral Arabic language skills;
2.  To monitor the systematic development of students' Arabic
language competency in all aspects of their University studies in
order to insure that University standards for use 	of the Arabic
language are met by individual students at entry, intermediate and
graduation levels; and
3.  To develop and offer a program in Arabic for non-native speakers.

Qualifications:
Successful candidates will have:
1. a Master's degree in Arabic;
2. Arabic language teaching experience; and
3. a creative and flexible personality with the ability to work well
as a member of a team.
Preference will be given to candidates who are native speakers of
Arabic with an excellent command of English.

Applications must include:
1.  a letter of application addressing relevant experience and qualifications;
2.  a current curriculum vitae; and
3.  the names, addresses and telephone/FAX numbers of three references.

The Benefits:
Salary and benefits are competitive by international standards.
Living conditions in the United Arab Emirates are superb.  Initial
contracts are for three years and are renewable.  These positions are
available in January 2002 and August 2002.  Applications will be
accepted until all positions are filled.

All inquiries will be held in strict confidence; references will not
be contacted without the candidate's permission.

Subject: Using Arabic Chat among Professors and Students

I am interested in knowing what American universities are actively
using Arabic script, not just for browsing,
but for e-mail and chat rooms for professors and students of Arabic.
The Georgetown University computer
people will not allow a left-to-right, IBM (or compatible) operating
language system to be linked to our local
web for fear that it will corrupt the our local network. Any
suggestions and/or solutions are appreciated.

Subject: Needs US Government Career Guidance

In light of last week's events, many of the intelligence agencies,
especially the FBI are upping their recruitment of Arabic speakers
and translators. While I am not quite ready for that level or Arabic,
I would like to pursue this field as a possible career. Does anyone
have any contacts at any of these intelligence agencies - CIA, NSA,
DoD, etc. - who could help answer some of my questions? I'd greatly
appreciate it.

Subject: U.S. Government Career Guidance

Greetings / tahaiya tayyiba wa b3ad....

Two career paths seem to be most prevalent among the various USG agencies in
the national "intelligence community" (aka IC) for applicants with language
skills (Arabic, in your case)

o  Language specialist -  full-time or contract

Duties involve:

     - interpreter for interviews, debriefings and bilateral meetings

and/or

     -- document translator / transcriber & translator of audiotapes in the
criterion language

o  Analyst with a background in languages and area studies that includes
Arabic

Bad news:  While language skill in the Arabic is handy to have, the typical
analyst's workload (paperwork and deadline for reports production, etc.) can
gradually distract you from using or sustaining that language skill.

Good news: Most IC agencies recognize that effect and provide their analysts
with periodic refresher / sustainment training as part of their career
development plans.)

Hard to advise further without more details about your overall academic
major, experience and interests.

Best places to check for openings are the agencies' web sites, especially
those for NSA, FBI, DIA and CIA.  Web searches will yield those sites and
links to their respective employment pages.

The processing by each agency of an applicant for personnel security
clearance can take considerable time (Average is about one year, IIRC), so
don't give up your day job or seeking employment elsewhere.

Depending on your degree and interests, you might also consider corporations
with overseas business interests in Arabic-speaking marketplaces.

HTH. Khair, in sha' Allah.

Regards from Los Angeles,

Stephen H. Franke

Subject: Enrollment Bump Query

A journalist from the Associated Press just asked me if we have noticed any
increased enrollment in Arabic (or Middle Eastern Studies...) as a result
of the events of Sept. 11.  We had a couple of students who tried to add
Arabic, but we were already underway and they floundered.  The academic
year starts later for some of you.  This fellow (unfortunately, I've
forgotten his name already) would like to hear from anyone who has noticed
this sort of thing.  The sooner the better.  Also, they'd like to know if
anyone is planning to offer more classes or special classes as a result.
I'd also be curious to know the answers to these questions, given that I've
been tracking enrollment trends for years now.

Best,
Kirk

[Please respond directly to requester.  I lost this message for two

I am currently attending classes in University of Texas at Arlington.
I am from Syria and my native language is Arabic.  I am required to
have foreign language hours to get my degree.  I was told that if I
can test for the Arabic (I am after all taking all of my classes in a
language that is foreign to me) at a school that offers it as a part
of the curriculum that I might be able to transfer those hours and
not need to take Spanish here. Is it possible to do this in your
program?  If it is, what do I need to do and about how much will it
cost?

Subject: Indirect Speech Response

On indirect speech, I think that if the original is indirect, the
translation should be indirect. Translating from Arabic into English (whcih
is what I do), that means rendering "qaala innahu sa-....." as "He said that
he would..." I can't imagine a situation when it would be ok to switch it to
direct speech and first person: He said, "I will..." because it definitely
would be misleading, making it seem like a verbatim quote, rather than the
author's report of what the person said.

Of course, a translation can never be a "verbatim" quote, but we can be as

Subject: Indirect Speech Response

The difference in choice between direct and indirect quotation is highly
functional in hard news reports (c.f. for instance Waugh, L. (1995)
?Reported Speech in Journalistic Discourse: The Relation of Function and
Text?. Text, 15, 1. and Zelizer, B. (1989) ? ?Saying? as collective
practice: Quoting and differential address in the news. Text, 9, 4.) and any
mix up between them could probably mean a mix up in the ideological stand of
the news institution or to put it mildly  in its policy.

However, the particular case which you ask about, i.e. the blurring of the
line between the newsmaker's own voice and that of the sources (secondary
and primary discourse, respectively) is a far reaching one. This case is
widely recognised in Critical Discourse Analytical writings (c.f. Bell, A.
(1991) The Language of News Media.  Oxford: Blackwell). Generally, it is
employed by the news editors to pass their opinion in a way that absolves
them from responsibility from what is being said.

My suggestion is that you translate it as it is in the original and leave it
for the editors of the news institution you are working for to adapt it to
the institution's policy (ideology).

I hope I have answered your question. If you have anything to discuss
regarding this translation task please do not hesitate to contact me.

Subject: come' suppletion (ta?aala) in the dialects query

Dear All,

I am working on suppletion in verb inflection (as in English go
PRESENT vs went Past) from a typological perspective. One type of
suppletion, shown by the data in my 152 language sample is suppletion
in the imperative as in Egyptian Cairene Arabic (the example is from
Mitchell, T. F. 1962. Colloquial Arabic: The Living Language of Egypt:
Teach Yourself Books. London: The English Universities Press Ltd.)

Perfect	1 singular	   ana geet	come (I came)
Imperative 2 masc singular ta??-aala	come!

I have similar data on imperative suppletion with 'go' in Moroccan
Arabic, and 'come' in Algerian Arabic. I would like to find out how
common, or not common, this phenomenon is in the remaining dialects of
Arabic which is why I am writing to this list. Essentially, I would
like to collect the paradigms of 'come/go' verbs in as many dialects
of Arabic as possible. Any pointers to literature relevant to this
subject would be greatly appreciated as well.

I will post a summary to the list if there is interest.

Thank you very much in advance!

Best wishes,
Ljuba

Sakhr OCR Expands Coverage

Popular OCR Adds Cyrillic Languages and Turkish



Washington, September 4, 2001- Sakhr Software, the world's foremost
developer and publisher of Arabic and bilingual software, has added
six new languages, improved speed, and a variety of new features to
its popular OCR program.

Digitek International, North American distributor of Sakhr software
products, has just released the expanded version of Sakhr's popular
OCR, Al-Qari Al-Aali, to local markets. The OCR, a quick and accurate
way to convert scanned text images back into manipulable text files,
has long been popular bucause of its unique capacity for high quality
handling of Arabic and Farsi.

Now, Sakhr adds Turkish to the program's repertoire. Document
management specialists can work with all Middle Eastern languages
through a single product. The addition of five Cyrillic languages
(Russian, Greek, Polish, Czech, and Hungarian) complete's Sakhr's
coverage of European languages as well. Al-Qari Al-Aali also
recognizes bilingual Arabic/English and Farsi/English documents in a
single pass.

Users of the Professional version of the Sakhr OCR have multifaceted
multilingual capabilities. Sakhr has raised the product's speed to
800 characters per second (cps) from earlier levels fo 500 cps. The
Personal Archive bonus packaged lets users organize OCR images in
structured and hierarchical folders. Sakhr has added automatic and
manual image correction, image noise reduction and image zooming.
Another helpful new feautre is the ability to doublecheck the file
you select against its image before OCRing the image.

With the capability of recognizing and converting to text scanned
images in 19 leading languages (as well as ASCII symbols), the
enhanced Sakhr OCR program is now, more than ever, an indispensable
tool for publishers, researchers, catalogers and managers of document
archives.

Thank you.

I will contact the TV station.  In the report the Sephardic Jewish man
referred to the holy books used in his synagogue and listed: the Torah,
Siddur, and the Qur'an.  When he showed the copy of the Qur'an it was in
Hebrew script, but it looks like Judaeo-Arabic  (at one point he referred to
his Qur'an "written in Hebrew language."  If there is a Qur'an in Hebrew
language I also want to get a copy of it.  Does anyone know where to buy it?

Thank you

Dear Ljuba:
As far as I know, for Tunisian Arabic this is the
paradigm:

Perfect 1sing. ana jit (I came)
Imperative 2sing. ija (come!); 2pl. ijaw

There are several manuals of Tunisian Arabic, thought
I can not give you right now any title. Good luck,

Subject: Judaeo-Arabic responses

If you mean a translation of the Qur'an into Hebrew, Dvir used to
publish one.  (If you want to do your own net searches, try "Devir"
also.)  The next question is where to find Dvir.  It used to be in Tel
Aviv, probably on Rehov Nachmani.  However, I found no such thing
in a quick net search.  There seems to be one in Lod, and it may
be that it moved.

As to the translation, it's been 20 years or so since I saw it, and
remember nothing about it.  It was probably a very routine
translation into modern Hebrew.

I seem to remember that I saw a new copy of that edition for sale
rather recently, maybe even in the town where I live, so it seems
still to be in print.  Remind me by private email every few days, and
I'll either track down details of the book or of Dvir.

Good luck.
David.

ANNOUNCEMENT
CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD (CASA)

2002 Summer and Full-Year Programs

The Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA) is pleased to announce that
it will offer a limited number of fellowships for advanced Arabic
language study at the American University in Cairo for the 2002-2003
academic year.  .

Two types of CASA fellowships are available:

1) Summer-only fellowships: (June 9-July 25, 2002)
These fellowships allow students to participate in an intensive
seven-week summer language and culture program that includes 14
weekly hours of Egyptian Colloquial Arabic and 6 hours of Modern
Standard Arabic.

2) Full-Year fellowships: (June 9, 2001-2-June 1, 2003)
These fellowships provide intensive language and culture training in
both Egyptian Colloquial and Modern Standard Arabic for three
semesters (summer, fall and spring) and allow students in the spring
semester to take courses in Arabic in their respective areas of
specialization.

Successful applicants must be US citizens or Permanent Residents,
enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program and committed to a
career in Middle Eastern Studies, have had a minimum of two years of
college-level Arabic language study, and pass the CASA Selection exam
which will be administered to all applicants at a school in their
locality on Friday, February 2, 2002.  Please note that non-US
citizens and Permanent Residents are also welcome to apply to CASA,
and if accepted, may participate on a Pay-Your-Own-Way basis.

Those interested in applying to CASA may also wish to apply for a
Fulbright fellowship that would provide them with funding to
participate in CASA. A Fulbright fellowship would enable the student
to participate in CASA and provide a higher level of funding.
Fulbright fellowships have October deadlines; thus students must
submit their Fulbright fellowships well before they submit the CASA
application.??

application forms, please visit the CASA web site at

Hello:

Our university wants to install Arabic keyboard software on the lab
PC's, but it turns out that Microsoft essentially provides one
keyboard variant per country. Because of disk space, we will probably
be restricted to 1-2 keyboard variants for Arabic.

I'm not an Arabic speaker myself, so are there keyboards variants
which are more standard than others?

Any input would be appreciated. Replies can be made off list, and I
can summarize.

Thank you in advance.

I would advise using the Saudi keyboard as one of them if you are
planning on using Arabic-enabled applications. MS Office 2000 won't
detect spelling for Arabic text if you don't have (or have not
installed) the Saudi keyboard. Hopefully they've fixed this in Office
XP, but I haven't yet tried it out. That aside, all of the regional
keyboards I have used (Saudi, Lebanese, Egyptian, Syrian) have all had
the same layout as far as I can tell.

Dear Elizabeth J. Pyatt ,

There are many Arabic keyboard in the market most of them come from
China and Taiwan. These keyboards support Engkish and Arabi, by the
way if you have Window (2 thousnads it alos support Arabic) Therefore
no need for special software for the keyboard. You may contact
:Celeron Company of P.C or you may consult Computer Company sites in
China or Taiwan or even in Arab countries.
Hopefully the above themes may help you.

United Nations Special Commission on Iraq = UNSCOM (English) => unsiikom

(former) Arabian American Oil Company = ARAMCO => Araamkoo

North Atlantic Treaty Organization => NATO = > naiitoo

These are some items that recently appeared, and there seem to be many
others, mostly relating to political, industrial, engineering, or
technological subjects.

Arabic printed media generally render the acronym in Arabic (followed by full
name and/or explanation of the referant term).

If your PC supports Arabic MS Word, I can send samples.

You might post your query also in the "help / ask a question" section of <

circulate there.

Hope this helps. Khair, in sha' Allah.

Zayed University, United Arab Emirates
Instructors, Arabic Language Center

Zayed University:
Zayed University is a new National university of the United Arab
Emirates.  Currently operating on campuses in the cities of Abu Dhabi
and Dubai, Zayed University enjoys the full support of the United
Arab Emirates government as it builds itself to top international
standards.  The University was founded in September 1998 upon the
admission of the first freshman class of 1,100 nonresidential women
students.  The mandate is to prepare Nationals, women and men alike,
for leadership roles in the future economic growth of the country.
English is the primary medium of instruction and administration and
Arabic plays a critical role.

The two founding campuses of Zayed University eventually will
comprise a student body of about 5,000 undergraduate students
studying in six colleges (the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business
Sciences, Communication and Media Sciences, Education, Family
Sciences and Information Systems).  The University will offer an
active program of research and public service and graduate programs
are planned.  Information technology supports all aspects of the
instructional program; all students own a laptop computer and campus
facilities are fully networked.  Physical facilities are generally
sufficient to meet current needs.  New campuses to be designed and
constructed within the next several years are planned for both
locations.

The University invites applications for Instructors of Arabic in the
Arabic Language Center.  Located administratively in the College of
Arts and Sciences, the Center will provide academic services for the
students of all Colleges of the University.  The purposes of the
Center are:

1.  To serve as a major student and faculty support facility,
providing instruction and advice to students for
improvement of their written and oral Arabic language skills;
2.  To monitor the systematic development of students' Arabic
language competency in all aspects of their University studies in
order to insure that University standards for use 	of the Arabic
language are met by individual students at entry, intermediate and
graduation levels; and
3.  To develop and offer a program in Arabic for non-native speakers.

Qualifications:
Successful candidates will have:
1. a Master's degree in Arabic;
2. Arabic language teaching experience; and
3. a creative and flexible personality with the ability to work well
as a member of a team.
Preference will be given to candidates who are native speakers of
Arabic with an excellent command of English.

Applications must include:
1.  a letter of application addressing relevant experience and qualifications;
2.  a current curriculum vitae; and
3.  the names, addresses and telephone/FAX numbers of three references.

The Benefits:
Salary and benefits are competitive by international standards.
Living conditions in the United Arab Emirates are superb.  Initial

Subject: Zayed University Job: Arabic and Islamic Studies

Zayed University, United Arab Emirates
Faculty Positions, Arabic & Islamic Studies

Zayed University:
Zayed University is a new National university of the United Arab
Emirates.  Currently operating on campuses in the cities of Abu Dhabi
and Dubai, Zayed University enjoys the full support of the United
Arab Emirates government as it builds itself to top international
standards.  The University was founded in September 1998 upon the
admission of the first freshman class of 1,100 nonresidential women
students.  The mandate is to prepare Nationals, women and men alike,
for leadership roles in the future economic growth of the country.
English is the primary medium of instruction and administration and
Arabic plays a critical role.

The two founding campuses of Zayed University eventually will
comprise a student body of about 5,000 undergraduate students
studying in six colleges (the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business
Sciences, Communication and Media Sciences, Education, Family
Sciences and Information Systems).  The University will offer an
active program of research and public service and graduate programs
are planned.  Information technology supports all aspects of the
instructional program; all students own a laptop computer and campus
facilities are fully networked.  Physical facilities are generally
sufficient to meet current needs.  New campuses to be designed and
constructed within the next several years are planned for both
locations.

The University invites applications for faculty positions
(professors, associate professors and assistant professors) in Arabic
and/or Islamic Studies in the Department of Arabic and Islamic
Studies.  The Department is located in the College of Arts and
Sciences and offers academic programs leading to the Baccalaureate
degree in Arabic Studies.  Other degree programs, including graduate
programs, may also be offered in the future. The Department
contributes to the General Education program of the University.

Qualifications:
Successful candidates will have:
1. a Doctorate in Arabic and/or Islamic Studies;
2. relevant teaching experience; and
3. a creative and flexible personality with the ability to work well
as a member of a team.
Preference will be given to candidates who are native speakers of
Arabic with an excellent command of English.

Applications must include:
1.  a letter of application addressing relevant experience and qualifications;
2.  a current curriculum vitae; and
3.  the names, addresses and telephone/FAX numbers of three references.

The Benefits:
Salary and benefits are competitive by international standards.
Living conditions in the United Arab Emirates are superb.  Initial
contracts are for three years and are renewable.  These positions are
available in January 2002 and August 2002.  Applications will be
accepted until all positions are filled.

All inquiries will be held in strict confidence; references will not
be contacted without the candidate's permission.

Subject: Using Arabic Chat among Professors and Students

I am interested in knowing what American universities are actively
using Arabic script, not just for browsing,
but for e-mail and chat rooms for professors and students of Arabic.
The Georgetown University computer
people will not allow a left-to-right, IBM (or compatible) operating
language system to be linked to our local
web for fear that it will corrupt the our local network. Any
suggestions and/or solutions are appreciated.

Subject: Needs US Government Career Guidance

In light of last week's events, many of the intelligence agencies,
especially the FBI are upping their recruitment of Arabic speakers
and translators. While I am not quite ready for that level or Arabic,
I would like to pursue this field as a possible career. Does anyone
have any contacts at any of these intelligence agencies - CIA, NSA,
DoD, etc. - who could help answer some of my questions? I'd greatly
appreciate it.

Thanks,
Lisa

Subject: U.S. Government Career Guidance

Greetings / tahaiya tayyiba wa b3ad....

Two career paths seem to be most prevalent among the various USG agencies in
the national "intelligence community" (aka IC) for applicants with language
skills (Arabic, in your case)

o  Language specialist -  full-time or contract

Duties involve:

     - interpreter for interviews, debriefings and bilateral meetings

and/or

     -- document translator / transcriber & translator of audiotapes in the
criterion language

o  Analyst with a background in languages and area studies that includes
Arabic

Bad news:  While language skill in the Arabic is handy to have, the typical
analyst's workload (paperwork and deadline for reports production, etc.) can
gradually distract you from using or sustaining that language skill.

Good news: Most IC agencies recognize that effect and provide their analysts
with periodic refresher / sustainment training as part of their career
development plans.)

Hard to advise further without more details about your overall academic
major, experience and interests.

Best places to check for openings are the agencies' web sites, especially
those for NSA, FBI, DIA and CIA.  Web searches will yield those sites and
links to their respective employment pages.

The processing by each agency of an applicant for personnel security
clearance can take considerable time (Average is about one year, IIRC), so
don't give up your day job or seeking employment elsewhere.

Depending on your degree and interests, you might also consider corporations
with overseas business interests in Arabic-speaking marketplaces.

HTH. Khair, in sha' Allah.

Regards from Los Angeles,

Stephen H. Franke

Subject: Enrollment Bump Query

A journalist from the Associated Press just asked me if we have noticed any
increased enrollment in Arabic (or Middle Eastern Studies...) as a result
of the events of Sept. 11.  We had a couple of students who tried to add
Arabic, but we were already underway and they floundered.  The academic
year starts later for some of you.  This fellow (unfortunately, I've
forgotten his name already) would like to hear from anyone who has noticed
this sort of thing.  The sooner the better.  Also, they'd like to know if
anyone is planning to offer more classes or special classes as a result.
I'd also be curious to know the answers to these questions, given that I've
been tracking enrollment trends for years now.

Best,
Kirk
