He was the chairman of the English studies for the American Mission Schools in Egypt. The book contains over 1490 proverbs written in Arabic, translated and given the meaning in English and transliterated. These proverbs are short phrases of profound wisdom, arranged in a simple easy to remember rhyme, that give advice or teach a moral lesson. These proverbs are true window into the Egyptian culture and reflect its hopes and dreams as well as its disappointments and pain. Proverbs said accurately in the right context will lit up faces and open the way for friendships. This book is a treasure, folk wisdom passed from one generation to the next teaching customs, generosity and hospitality. I am presenting this book to you hoping it would be useful for students who are studying Arabic and people interested in the Egyptian culture. To see sample of these proverbs and order online, go to my website: www.egyptianproverbs.com or the publisher at www.pleasantword.com or www.barnsandnoble.com www.amazon.com Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks.

The CASA III fellowships are funded by the Fulbright Binational Committee in Egypt and the US Department of Education and are intended for professors who are interested in further advancing their proficiency in Arabic and for those who wish to undertake research in Arabic materials under the supervision of a specialist. The program is designed to offer flexibility in terms of the timeframe of the individual’s program. CASA provides funding for CASA III fellows ranging from two to four months, with each CASA III fellow choosing the months in which they wish to participate (these months need to be compatible with the AUC academic calendar). The CASA III program can be undertaken in Summer 2006, Fall 2006, or Spring 2007. The specific program of study for each applicant will be designed by the applicant and the CASA Executive Director. Applicants must have a level of competence in Arabic of Intermediate- High or above according to the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines (equivalent to at least three years of study at the college level). An oral proficiency phone interview in Arabic will be conducted with each applicant to determine her/his level of proficiency. Applicants must be U.S. citizens. Non-U.S. citizens and permanent residents may apply to participate in this program on a Pay-Your-Own Way basis. The CASA III fellowship award covers round-trip airfare, tuition, and a maintenance allowance of the Egyptian equivalent between $1250 and $1500 per month, plus an educational supplies allowance of up to $250 per month. A non-refundable program fee is required of each CASA III fellow once an award has been accepted.

Two types of CASA fellowships are available: 1) Summer-Only Fellowships: (June 7, 2006 – July 31, 2006) These fellowships allow students to participate in an intensive seven- week summer language and culture program that includes 10 weekly hours of Egyptian Colloquial Arabic and 8 hours of Modern Standard Arabic plus a weekly tour in Arabic. 2) Full-Year Fellowships: (June 7, 2006 – May 31, 2007) These fellowships provide intensive language and culture training in both Egyptian Colloquial and Modern Standard Arabic (reading, listening and writing) 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. In 2005-2006, CASA offered 6 Summer-Only Fellowships and 32 Full-Year fellowships and we expect to offer a slightly fewer number in 2006-2007. Successful applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents; enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program or in between their undergraduate and graduate study; committed to a career in Middle Eastern Studies; have had a minimum of two to three 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 3, 2006. Please note that non-U.S. citizens 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. The CASA fellowship award covers round-trip airfare, tuition and a maintenance allowance of 2,100 Egyptian pounds per month. A non- refundable program fee is required of each CASA fellow once an award has been accepted.

Name: unknown.jpg Type: image/jpeg Size: 3207 bytes Desc: not available URL: -------------- next part -------------- CASA II 2006-2007 Program for Post-CASA Language Study and Arabic-Based Research The CASA II program aims to provide further opportunities for CASA fellows, who have completed the CASA Full-Year program within the past five years, to continue to enhance their language skills and advance their Arabic-based research in Egypt. The CASA II program offers the opportunity to study for one or two semesters (Fall or Spring or both) at the American University in Cairo. The program is meant to be flexible so as to cater to the individual linguistic and research needs of each CASA II fellow. Individual academic programs for each CASA fellow will be designed in close consultation between the fellow and the CASA Executive Director in Cairo. Each CASA II fellow is expected to enroll in three tutorials per semester. These tutorials can be in any of the language skills or in the fellow’s own field of specialization. In addition, CASA II fellows are welcome to enroll in any of the regular CASA classes that are offered during the fall and spring semesters as part of their CASA II program. CASA II fellows are also expected to participate in and contribute to the full range of activities of the CASA program. Requirements: To qualify for a CASA II fellowship, the successful applicant must have completed the CASA Full-Year program within the past five years and must be enrolled in a graduate program in Arabic/Middle Eastern Studies. Former CASA fellows who graduated more than five years ago may apply for a CASA II fellowship but they must take the CASA Entrance Exam to assess their current level of proficiency in Arabic. Each applicant must complete the CASA II application form and provide all supporting documents. Each applicant is expected to pay a non-refundable program fee of $750 per semester ($1,000 per semester for fellows from non CASA Consortium schools). Similar to other CASA programs, applicants to CASA II have the option of applying on a Pay-Your-Own-Way basis if they have other sources of funding. Benefits: A CASA II fellowship award covers tuition for one or two semesters based on the fellow’s choice, round trip airfare and a monthly stipend of 3,000 Egyptian pounds.

Wahba (ed.), Zeinab Taha (ed.) and Liz England (ed.) Primary Subject: SECOND LANGUAGE L2 Secondary Subject: BILINGUALISM/SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION ISBN: 0-8058-5101-1 Binding: Cloth Page Count: 416 Publisher: Lawrence Earlbaum Associates Descriptions: This landmark volume offers an introduction to the field of teaching Arabic as a foreign or second language. Recent growth in student numbers and the demand for new and more diverse Arabic language programs of instruction have created a need that has outpaced the ability of teacher preparation programs to provide sufficient numbers of well-qualified professional teachers at the level of skill required. Arabic language program administrators anticipate that the increases in enrollment will continue into the next decades. More resources and more varied materials are seriously needed in Arabic teacher education and training. The goal of this Handbook is to address that need. The most significant feature of this volume is its pioneer role in approaching the field of Arabic language teaching from many different perspectives. It offers readers the opportunity to consider the role, status, and content of Arabic language teaching in the world today. The Handbook is intended as a resource to be used in building Arabic language and teacher education programs and in guiding future academic research. Thirty-four chapters authored by leaders in the field are organized around nine themes: • Background of Arabic Language Teaching; • Contexts of Arabic Language Teaching; • Communicative Competence in Arabic; • The Learners; • Assessment; • Technology Applications; • Curriculum Development, Design, and Models; • Arabic Language Program Administration and Management; and • Planning for the Future of Arabic Language Learning and Teaching. The Handbook for Arabic Language Teaching Professionals in the 21st Century will benefit and be welcomed by Arabic language teacher educators and trainers, administrators, graduate students, and scholars around the world. It is intended to create dialogue among scholars and professionals in the field and in related fields — dialogue that will contribute to creating new models for curriculum and course design, materials and assessment tools, and ultimately, better instructional effectiveness for all Arabic learners everywhere, in both Arabic-speaking and non-Arabic speaking countries.

He was the chairman of the English studies for the American Mission Schools in Egypt. The book contains over 1490 proverbs written in Arabic, translated and given the meaning in English and transliterated. These proverbs are short phrases of profound wisdom, arranged in a simple easy to remember rhyme, that give advice or teach a moral lesson. These proverbs are true window into the Egyptian culture and reflect its hopes and dreams as well as its disappointments and pain. Proverbs said accurately in the right context will lit up faces and open the way for friendships. This book is a treasure, folk wisdom passed from one generation to the next teaching customs, generosity and hospitality. I am presenting this book to you hoping it would be useful for students who are studying Arabic and people interested in the Egyptian culture. To see sample of these proverbs and order online, go to my website: www.egyptianproverbs.com or the publisher at www.pleasantword.com or www.barnsandnoble.com www.amazon.com Looking forward to hear from you.

The CASA III fellowships are funded by the Fulbright Binational Committee in Egypt and the US Department of Education and are intended for professors who are interested in further advancing their proficiency in Arabic and for those who wish to undertake research in Arabic materials under the supervision of a specialist. The program is designed to offer flexibility in terms of the timeframe of the individual?s program. CASA provides funding for CASA III fellows ranging from two to four months, with each CASA III fellow choosing the months in which they wish to participate (these months need to be compatible with the AUC academic calendar). The CASA III program can be undertaken in Summer 2006, Fall 2006, or Spring 2007. The specific program of study for each applicant will be designed by the applicant and the CASA Executive Director. Applicants must have a level of competence in Arabic of Intermediate- High or above according to the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines (equivalent to at least three years of study at the college level). An oral proficiency phone interview in Arabic will be conducted with each applicant to determine her/his level of proficiency. Applicants must be U.S. citizens. Non-U.S. citizens and permanent residents may apply to participate in this program on a Pay-Your-Own Way basis. The CASA III fellowship award covers round-trip airfare, tuition, and a maintenance allowance of the Egyptian equivalent between $1250 and $1500 per month, plus an educational supplies allowance of up to $250 per month. A non-refundable program fee is required of each CASA III fellow once an award has been accepted.

Two types of CASA fellowships are available: 1) Summer-Only Fellowships: (June 7, 2006 ? July 31, 2006) These fellowships allow students to participate in an intensive seven- week summer language and culture program that includes 10 weekly hours of Egyptian Colloquial Arabic and 8 hours of Modern Standard Arabic plus a weekly tour in Arabic. 2) Full-Year Fellowships: (June 7, 2006 ? May 31, 2007) These fellowships provide intensive language and culture training in both Egyptian Colloquial and Modern Standard Arabic (reading, listening and writing) 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. In 2005-2006, CASA offered 6 Summer-Only Fellowships and 32 Full-Year fellowships and we expect to offer a slightly fewer number in 2006-2007. Successful applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents; enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program or in between their undergraduate and graduate study; committed to a career in Middle Eastern Studies; have had a minimum of two to three 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 3, 2006. Please note that non-U.S. citizens 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. The CASA fellowship award covers round-trip airfare, tuition and a maintenance allowance of 2,100 Egyptian pounds per month. A non- refundable program fee is required of each CASA fellow once an award has been accepted.

The CASA II program offers the opportunity to study for one or two semesters (Fall or Spring or both) at the American University in Cairo. The program is meant to be flexible so as to cater to the individual linguistic and research needs of each CASA II fellow. Individual academic programs for each CASA fellow will be designed in close consultation between the fellow and the CASA Executive Director in Cairo. Each CASA II fellow is expected to enroll in three tutorials per semester. These tutorials can be in any of the language skills or in the fellow?s own field of specialization. In addition, CASA II fellows are welcome to enroll in any of the regular CASA classes that are offered during the fall and spring semesters as part of their CASA II program. CASA II fellows are also expected to participate in and contribute to the full range of activities of the CASA program. Requirements: To qualify for a CASA II fellowship, the successful applicant must have completed the CASA Full-Year program within the past five years and must be enrolled in a graduate program in Arabic/Middle Eastern Studies. Former CASA fellows who graduated more than five years ago may apply for a CASA II fellowship but they must take the CASA Entrance Exam to assess their current level of proficiency in Arabic. Each applicant must complete the CASA II application form and provide all supporting documents. Each applicant is expected to pay a non-refundable program fee of $750 per semester ($1,000 per semester for fellows from non CASA Consortium schools). Similar to other CASA programs, applicants to CASA II have the option of applying on a Pay-Your-Own-Way basis if they have other sources of funding. Benefits: A CASA II fellowship award covers tuition for one or two semesters based on the fellow?s choice, round trip airfare and a monthly stipend of 3,000 Egyptian pounds.

Wahba (ed.), Zeinab Taha (ed.) and Liz England (ed.) Primary Subject: SECOND LANGUAGE L2 Secondary Subject: BILINGUALISM/SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION ISBN: 0-8058-5101-1 Binding: Cloth Page Count: 416 Publisher: Lawrence Earlbaum Associates Descriptions: This landmark volume offers an introduction to the field of teaching Arabic as a foreign or second language. Recent growth in student numbers and the demand for new and more diverse Arabic language programs of instruction have created a need that has outpaced the ability of teacher preparation programs to provide sufficient numbers of well-qualified professional teachers at the level of skill required. Arabic language program administrators anticipate that the increases in enrollment will continue into the next decades. More resources and more varied materials are seriously needed in Arabic teacher education and training. The goal of this Handbook is to address that need. The most significant feature of this volume is its pioneer role in approaching the field of Arabic language teaching from many different perspectives. It offers readers the opportunity to consider the role, status, and content of Arabic language teaching in the world today. The Handbook is intended as a resource to be used in building Arabic language and teacher education programs and in guiding future academic research. Thirty-four chapters authored by leaders in the field are organized around nine themes: ? Background of Arabic Language Teaching; ? Contexts of Arabic Language Teaching; ? Communicative Competence in Arabic; ? The Learners; ? Assessment; ? Technology Applications; ? Curriculum Development, Design, and Models; ? Arabic Language Program Administration and Management; and ? Planning for the Future of Arabic Language Learning and Teaching. The Handbook for Arabic Language Teaching Professionals in the 21st Century will benefit and be welcomed by Arabic language teacher educators and trainers, administrators, graduate students, and scholars around the world. It is intended to create dialogue among scholars and professionals in the field and in related fields ? dialogue that will contribute to creating new models for curriculum and course design, materials and assessment tools, and ultimately, better instructional effectiveness for all Arabic learners everywhere, in both Arabic-speaking and non-Arabic speaking countries.
